One thought on “Woman Injured in Road Rage Shooting on North Roxboro Street, Durham”

  1. I’ve watched an increase in reckless driving lately, in every area of Durham I’m visiting. The police don’t seem to be interested in proactive policing, likely at the demand of liberal supervision. When the police aren’t present, folks take matters into their own hands sadly. The result is this kinda behavior or worse. When officers initiate traffic stops for minor infractions, you know… stuff like reckless speeding, blowing through red lights, missing license plates, heavily tinted windows… when the police become interested in getting criminal drivers off the streets, the violent road rage will cease. Until that time, expect folks to continue taking matters into their own hands.
