A friend was killed a highway shooting. :(

Just found out a good family friend was shot this morning in a highway shooting.

Two Killed During I-40 Shooting Spree West Of Oklahoma City - News9.com

He was our physical therapist for the last 15 years or so and a good customer for my parents. Was one of the nicest people you would ever meet. Super busy with work but would always take time to help if he thought you were in pain and he could help. Treated everyone that walked into his office like family and was loved by everyone. So sad to see a life cut short like that, leaving two kids behind. .

Killer won't be able to et a fair jury for 100 miles. This guy knew everyone and everyone loved him. Any juror in that county will fry that guy for sure!

And no motivation that's apparent yet.

Looks like the shooter was just someone passing through... Still no reason behind why...

I have seen some crazy crap when a driver gets the red mist of anger. I saw two pickup drivers driving like idiots trying to get in front of each other and causing havoc. If someone cuts me off or does something stupid I don't even bother to honk or acknowledge them. She change lanes or take a different route.

It is just nuts to start shoot at vehicles. I hope they fry that shooter. He was successful at killing two people and likely shot more than two bullets. I hope they give execute that POS.

Sorry, Sid. This really sucks. Seems somehow "worse" when there's absolutely no motive behind it.

A friend was killed a highway shooting. :(

Local tv said he has a long list of former arrests and assault charges. He is a total out of control idiot that is in jail now and hopefully will never see the outside of prison again. They think he shot at over 8 vehicles, and "only" killed two people.
