Woman shoots man in suspected violent incident in traffic; Police are investigating possible self-defense

DALLAS – A woman shot and killed a man on a Dallas highway Tuesday evening, police said.

Two women in a white sedan and a man in an SUV got into an altercation at an exit off the LBJ Freeway at Lancaster Road. Around 10:50 p.m., police said the confrontation began after the man abruptly stopped.

The man got out of his car and one of the women shot him, police said. He was taken to a nearby hospital and is in serious condition.

Investigators believe the road rage incident began in Hutchins and escalated in southeast Oak Cliff.

Both women remained at the scene and cooperated with police. An independent witness is also providing information as investigators seek to determine whether the shooting was in self-defense.
