    Wondering minds are curious was someone driving below posted in centre lane or possibly cut someone off? Either way shots weren’t justified.

    Your guess is as good as mine.
    Doesn’t help that the Loves is at the intersection where the shooting took place-something is always happening there!

    The shooter might have been aiming higher so the driver wouldn't be able to stop the theves from doing some early Christmas shopping. Google products? As in Pixel phones and electronics?

    No mention of road rage or cargo theft. Gang initiation, perhaps?

    Im guessing road rage since she identified possible suspect. So maybe the was an interaction unfavorable to car involved

    Hell, I member years ago when driving a red truck out of Joplin, was told that a driver was at the fuel pumps at flying J and was approached by a man asking for money. The story was that he didn't answer the guy, turned his back on him to go to the other side of his truck and got shot in the back.
