Apparently someone was shot right outside of our office on the road. Copters everywhere, lots of news crews all over.

News doesn't have much on it.

No CHL but is it cool to shoot someone banging on your window if they don't open the door? I'd like this sometimes.

He tried to open the door. I think a jury will be pretty understanding.

They don't know who was at fault? The next paragraph goes on to explain what happened. This is why I want to start a movement to have journalism removed from the degree plans offered in college.

You dont need a CHL to defend yourself in your vehicle. Sucks for the truck driver because this is going to be expensive no matter how it's sliced.

I think they mean who was at fault in the road rage incident on 290 before the guy followed the truck driver.

I was heading home on Hollister and wondered why the cop was blocking off the Cutten intersection.

At least show the guy the gun before pulling the trigger.

If you fear that the aggressor has a gun as well, why give them the opportunity to shoot first?

I can only imagine the type of person to pull over during a road rage incident and approach the other car too bad he didn't do the rest of Houston a favor and die.

Should not go past a grand jury. Texas' castle doctrine allows you to use deadly force to protect yourself while INSIDE your own vehicle. Real simple.

Uh, no, that is not the law in play here.

I remember a similar story a few years ago that resulted in charges. Nobody knows all the details here so who knows.


Quote:

The family of a woman accused of murder was outraged Wednesday at the charges against her.

A Harris County grand jury indicted Crystal Scott, 23, of murder. She claimed she was acting in self-defense when she shot and killed a motorist.

Scott told authorities that she shot Jonathan Ables on Sept. 17 after both drivers pulled their vehicles into a Shell station on FM 1960 near Perry following a minor traffic accident. Scott claimed Ables approached her car and started beating on the driver's side window. She said she feared for her life when she shot and killed Ables.

"That attack of one's vehicle is like breaking into one's house, and it's completely irrational and illogical for us that she should be the one facing charges," Bishop James Dixon said.

Ables' family said all they want is justice. They hope the indictment and criminal trial will shed light on what truly happened.

"There was no way that he could have been the monster she was portraying him to be," said Charlen Aucoin, Ables' mother. "There's nothing that's going to take away the hole in our hearts. Even with justice, there are no winners here."

"The grand jury did not determine guilt or innocence. They early determined that more likely than not, Crystal Scott murdered Jonathan Ables," Wice said.

"I know this if Crystal -- no one won in this situation," Dixon said.

No one with the District Attorney's Office was available to answer questions about the murder charge against Scott. She is expected to appear in court on March 4.




Looks like charges were dropped but it probably cost her a bit in lawyer fees.

Uh, yes, that may be the law in play here. Depending on the details of course. Tx castle doctrine is real simple.

Looks like it'll come down to 2) 'Did not provoke the perpetrator'

Does starting a road rage incident mean provocation? Or does getting out of your car over rule that?

Htine street law says only one honk if your behind someone at a green light and don't get out of your car during a road rage incident.
