This is starting to become common in Chicago. Random shootings on expressways, due to road rage, gangs, etc.

I know once in a while I get road rage over a douchey driver. I end up yelling ahole in my car. The windows are rolled up so they probably have no idea. I can't imagine how you would escalate to killing someone.

I thought the same. But I caught myself cursing in my head over annoying driver behavior and I don't do that in normal life. Driving adds heightened stress for sure. I feel so on edge when driving too much I try to avoid it as much as possible. One of the reasons I prefer biking and transit. It was worse when I commuted by car. Now I drive a few times a month so it is not as stressful.

Only in America where the NRA supports the mentally unbalanced being armed. Road rage and guns do not mix well.

Interesting... no one has called the perpetrator an 'animal' or a 'thug' yet in this thread...

I did refer to him as a coward in another thread, but the post was deleted. Wonder what motivated him to turn himself in? He still got charged with murder 1

The murderer still has not been apprehended.

But one thing I do not understand is why does the headline say "high school graduate"? Yes, she just graduated, but most people are high school graduates. It would be just as attention-grabbing to say "18-year-old shot in road rage incident".
Probably to highlight how very young she was. Poor thing. The guy turned himself in. I hope he gets the maximum penalty, whatever that is.
