In December, a four-year-old boy was killed in his parent's car in California.
According to a report, the man who has now been charged with one count of murder allegedly cut off the victim’s vehicle and engaged “in aggressive driving maneuvers and road rage” before using a handgun to fire eight shots at the family’s car, which killed the child. The tragedy has been called a “road rage shooting,” a type of devastating catastrophe that appears to be on the rise over the last couple of years. Last March, Everytown for Gun Safety released a report that found the number of road rage injuries and deaths involving guns had increased every year since 2018. The nonprofit said that in 2022, every 16 hours someone was shot, injured or killed in a road rage incident.
