From Philadelphia and WCAU NBC10: Armed passenger shot by other driver in Philly road rage. Police say it was justified.
A teenager was hospitalized after being shot several times -- including in the head -- in what Philadelphia police said was a self-defense shooting that stemmed from a road rage incident.
The occupants of a Honda Accord and of a Ford Explorer got into an "argument." A passenger got out of the Honda and pointed a gun at the driver of the Ford.
The Ford driver used his driver-side door to shield himself as "he exited his vehicle and fired his weapon several times at the suspect," police said.
The guy got back into the Honda and the driver sped off, police said. The Ford driver -- who has a license to carry a firearm -- remained on the scene for police officers to arrive.
With general levels of law and order breaking down in Philadelphia, people are beginning to see a need to provide for their own security. I doubt that the bad guys will get the memo that being a bad guy is now dangerous.
While police were investigating, a 19-year-old with gunshot wounds showed up at a local hospital. Police are holding both him and the car.
Police believe the Ford driver acted in self-defense. They did apparently take both his firearm and his vehicle as evidence. (The process is the punishment.)
