In Indianapolis, Ind., on July 18, a road-rage incident broke out between the owner of a black Honda sedan and a white pickup truck. Although it’s unclear what incident occurred in traffic to cause the two men to become irate, a witness’ video shows the man who had been driving the Honda get out of his vehicle carrying a firearm. He reportedly approached the driver of the white truck and attempted to punch him, but the punch was deflected by the other driver. The suspect reportedly continued to berate the other man while still brandishing the gun. The other driver then fired at the alleged assailant, killing him. The man driving the white truck was initially detained, but was released upon the preliminary finding of self-defense. (nypost.com, Indianapolis, Ind., 7/18/24)


On July 29, a 22-year-old man armed with a rock and a three-foot wooden stake attempted to enter a home in Oceanside, Calif., through an open sliding-glass door to the bedroom. A woman was inside the bedroom at the time and apparently alerted others. A 54-year-old male resident confronted the suspect, who then threw the rock, striking the homeowner in the face. The 54-year-old responded by firing three shots from a Glock, striking the intruder at least once in the chest, killing him. The investigation was ongoing but had revealed that the intruder likely had broken into an unoccupied home nearby by throwing a rock through a sliding-glass door.
