A mother of four children was shot on Thursday night during an incident triggered by road rage.
At approximately 11:25 p.m., LVMPD patrol officers were dispatched to a residence located on the 7900 block of Mount Shasta Circle to investigate a report that a woman had been shot.
Arriving patrol officers located an adult female suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. She was transported to UMC Trauma with what appeared to be life-threatening injuries.
The investigation indicated the woman had been conducting a driving lesson with her teenage daughter in the parking lot of a school located nearby. At the conclusion of the lesson, the woman was driving home when she had a near-collision with another vehicle.
There was a verbal confrontation between the victim and the other male driver.
The two females then drove to their home on Mount Shasta Circle and summoned another family member, who was armed with a handgun, to help.
The preliminary investigation indicates that some time later, the suspect vehicle appeared on the street, multiple shots were fired, and the victim was struck by one round.
No suspects have been identified and there is no definitive description of the suspect vehicle.
This is an open investigation. Police said the release of any further information may jeopardize detectives' ability to solve the case and arrest those involved.
The injured woman has been identified by her husband as Tammy Meyers. He said Tammy was shot in the head.
According to family, right now doctors can't do anything else for her. They said they plan to take her off life support.
"There's nothing they can do for my wife because of three guys wanted to plow into a mother of four and come back and shoot her, follow her home and kill her," said Robert Meyers, Tammy's husband.
Robert said he was notified of the shooting while on a business trip in California. He spoke to Action News early Friday morning and said his 15-year-old daughter did not witness the shooting and that his son shot at the suspect or suspects as they fled the scene.
In addition, Robert Meyers told Action News he plans to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect or suspects.
Witnesses in the neighborhood said the suspect or suspects fled in a small silver vehicle. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
