The search is on for a gunman who shot a Las Vegas mother in front of her children in a road rage confrontation Thursday evening.
While the shooter walks free, Tammy Meyers’ family is trying to cope with the reality. Family members say that, even if their mother lives, she will never be the same.
The family says Tammy Meyers is still on life support, fighting for her life at University Medical Center. The family was going to take her off life support Friday night, but doctors want to wait to see if she improves during the next 48 hours.
Meyers was giving her daughter a driving lesson Thursday night when she was gunned down. At the end of the lesson, Meyers was driving home when she had a near-collision with another vehicle. There was a verbal confrontation between the Meyers and the other male driver. The mother and daughter 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 Tammy Meyers was struck by one round. The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m.
Her husband, Robert Meyers, is left hoping for a miracle; he is not ready to say goodbye to the mother of his four children. "I love her. She was a good woman and she didn't deserve this. All she's ever done is help people," Robert Meyers said.
The Meyers' 23-year old son ran out of the house and shot at the suspect's car with a 9mm handgun, and may have hit the fleeing car.
As Meyers fights for her life, her husband says only an arrest will bring him peace. "Turn yourself in. I'm here. Right here. I'm right here. You know what you did last night. Come here," Robert Meyers said.
Witnesses say there were three men inside the silver car.
