A man sitting in a Park & Ride site in California watched a couple slowly walk up to his vehicle. For reasons still unknown, the strange man outside raised his arm and hurled a large rock through the driver’s side window. The driver’s instinct was quick and exact.

Officer Dan Olivas told mynewsla.com, “The man inside was armed with a handgun and fired several shots at the male, striking him.” The rock-wielding man was fatally hit by the gunfire. The female companion ran from the scene, but was later discovered by investigators.

At this point, no motive has been given and the woman is in police custody. The motorist, who was legally armed, was not injured.
