Exactly.

Exactly. Unlike incarceration. It will bring her back. Right?

You're absolutely right.

But there may be more to this story. It is very strange.

Why is she teaching a teen who is a year and half under the age of having a permit to drive, and at 11:30pm?

They go home and the son comes out shooting?

Husband is out of town on business.

Maybe he arranged a hit? Who knows. I always remember that case in Boston where the husband said they were carjacked when it was a hit he arranged on his pregnant wife.

This seems very odd.

Is it safe to say that, women are more prone to Road rage then men?

It IS a very odd story. Either way, it's such a messy situation that I don't think whatever did happen will be hidden for very long. Someone is going to talk or someone is going to come forward.

It's not my experience, but in terms of things I've read, it seems to be only men who react to it with deadly force.

Maybe they wanted to wait until they were guaranteed no traffic. They used a school parking lot, maybe they had to wait until a basketball game was done and everyone gone. They celebrated a birthday party for the brother that night, maybe it ended late. The girl was 15. That is the age you get a driver's permit in Florida, and you get your license at 16.

They go home and the son comes out shooting?

As stated several times already, after stopping at the accident scene (which happened because she was going slow, 25, and the car got mad and sideswiped her), she got back in the car after one of the men came out of the car acting aggressive and threatened her. She made a beeline home, send daughter into the house to get son, where she ran in screaming that two guys were after them. Son grabs gun, runs out in time to see Mom on the ground and car fleeing, he fires shots at car while they are getting away.

Husband is out of town on business.

Maybe he arranged a hit? Who knows. I always remember that case in Boston where the husband said they were carjacked when it was a hit he arranged on his pregnant wife.

Yes, but that man did it himself in the middle of nowhere What hit man would agree to a hit in front of people, what kind of hit man would get out of the car in front of witnesses (the daughter) prior to the hit, so an accurate description of both him and the car could be issued to the world? Makes no sense.

This seems very odd.
I really feel people are desperate to find a reason to say this lady deserved it somehow, so they can reassure themselves it couldn't happen to them. I think she is/was innocent and this could happen to any of us, even those who think we drive courteously and don't go out at 11:30 pm.

She is required by law to show the other driver her drivers license, and insurance card. There is no evidence that she did that. Maybe they were trying to get her license plate number and address when her son started shooting at them.

No. Show DL only if asked. Never have to show insurance card unless a cop is involved.

You have evidence she was asked?

As strange as this story is, that part is not so strange. Her daughter is 15 years old, which is old enough to be issued an instruction permit in Nevada. Also Nevada requires at least 10 hours of night time driving experience before a teenager can be issued a license. Dumb rules, but the mother was apparently complying with those rules.
