Woman Shot Four Times in Road Rage Incident

The woman survived and managed to drive herself to a safe location

A Minneapolis woman was shot four times in what angry police officers called a road-rage incident like they’ve never seen, NBC News reported.

Police said the victim, a 39-year-old woman, honked at a Jeep when it cut in front of her on Tuesday. The passenger in the Jeep pulled out a handgun and fired four rounds into the woman’s car.

All four rounds struck her, but she survived and managed to drive herself to a safe location where someone called 911.

"My message would be: Stop the violence," Minneapolis Police Inspector Todd Loining said at a briefing on Wednesday. "Put the guns down. Put the knives down, and let's find a way to communicate to resolve our differences."
