I thought our neighborhood was safe

There was a lot of commotion in our neighborhood last night with tons of cops. After talking to some of our friends we figured out what was going on. We also found this on the news last night:


Road Rage Turns Into Shooting In Murray Neighborhood

An incident of road rage turned into a shooting in Salt Lake County on Wednesday evening, authorities said.

Authorities say an altercation started at a car wash in South Salt Lake between the drivers of two cars. Following the argument, a white Mercedes-Benz began following the driver of a dark-colored Honda.

The pursuit ended up in the cul de sac of a Murray neighborhood -- (address has been removed) -- where the driver of the Honda was cornered. The driver said he felt threatened by the Mercedes-Benz, so he pulled a gun and fired a shot behind him in the direction of the other vehicle.

The bullet struck a nearby garage. No one was hurt.

Authorities said this incident carried a high risk of danger because it happened in a residential neighborhood.



Why do people have to bring their problems into others neighborhoods? There were kids playing down there when the shooting started. At least they found the people involved. Let's hope it doesn't happen again.
