In yet another deadly road rage incident, a man was fatally shot on Interstate 71 in Carroll County, Kentucky, in what is being investigated as a likely case of self-defense. The Kentucky State Police (KSP) responded to the incident just after 7 p.m. on June 8, following a call for assistance, WDRB is reporting. The confrontation involved two vehicles traveling along I-71, which escalated after both drivers exited the highway.
According to a news release from KSP, 63-year-old Daniel Shouse from Carrollton, Kentucky, had contacted Carroll County dispatch, reporting that the other driver was “displaying a firearm.” As the vehicles continued on KY 389, the situation intensified, and shots were fired, resulting in Shouse being struck by gunfire. Shouse, who was also armed, died from his wounds at the scene.
Kentucky State Trooper Chad Johnson explained that the driver of the second vehicle, who fired the fatal shots, remained at the scene and cooperated fully with law enforcement.
