A woman shot late Thursday night in what is described as a road-rage incident is not expected to survive, according to her husband.
Tammy Meyers, 44, remains at UMC Trauma on life support. Robert Meyers, her husband, told News 3 she is brain dead.
The person or persons who shot her remain on the run. Robert Meyers is demanding the suspect or suspects turn themselves in before they get in even more trouble. The family wants those responsible to pay the consequences. “My word to them is I hope the cops find them first and it’s not me,” he said. "I have four kids. I just want to let you suspects know you took a mom away."
Tammy Meyers was shot in front of her home and in front of her children.
The shooting occurred just after 11:20 p.m. Thursday near Alta Drive and Cimarron Road, according to Metro Lt. Eric Lloyd. Meyers had been giving her teenage daughter a driving lesson in a parking lot at a nearby high school. She took over driving to get back home. "My daughter was sitting in the passenger seat and this, all I got, my wife came out of a parking lot doing the speed limit," Meyers said.
At some point, they got into an altercation with a driver of another vehicle. Meyers started driving home slowly and was being followed. She allowed the vehicle to pass, but the car slammed its brakes.
"Gentleman got behind her,” Meyers said. “Didn't like how slow she was going. Almost hit her. She pulled over to the right. He took off. She took off. He slows his brakes in front of her."
Meyers went around the vehicle and headed home. "She does an evasive move. Goes all the way home. He follows my wife home. My daughter runs in the house and he shoots my wife."
Robert Meyers said his son came out with a shotgun and fired back at the suspect vehicle, which had three occupants.
Meyers, who said he drove back from California all night after a business trip, said Tammy was shot in the head. He said she was a nurse and described her as the most loving person in the world, the ultimate family woman. "Probably the best person you meet in your life," he said. "She loved her kids. She lived for her kids and me."
The shooting suspect remains at large.
