Houston road rage shooting: Man in critical condition, crashed on I-10 East Freeway

HOUSTON - A Houston man is in critical condition after an apparent road rage shooting late Thursday night, Houston police say.

According to Lieutenant Willkens, officers arrived at what they initially thought to be a crash on I-10 Eastbound near Uvalde Road after finding a truck sitting on a center divide.

Based on preliminary information, a 26-year-old man, his dad, and mom, a probation officer in Harris County, were in a black sedan when a truck began tailgating them and nearly ran them over.

The family told police the truck went around them and the driver began shooting at them. The son started shooting back and the family drove away to contact police, officials say.

Lt. Willkens reports the family returned to the scene and are cooperating with police. 

The male driver of the truck suffered at least one gunshot wound and was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The woman was not reported injured.
