Police target gun violence on roads

Road rage incidents are difficult for police.

Take the man who reported passing another vehicle on Belle Grove Road in Brooklyn in the wee hours of the morning Tuesday and coming under fire.

“Was it a road rage type incident where the individual was mad at him for passing him or was there some other motive that we are not yet aware of?” said Marc Limansky of the Anne Arundel County Police Department.

Then there’s the case of 51-year-old Scott Gushe of Glen Burnie who was gunned down by a motorcyclist last week on Furnace Branch Road after allegedly coming at him with a hammer, although an investigation continues into the shooter’s account of those events.

The nearby owner of Against Our Odds Vape Shop, Hyung Chang, says his surveillance cameras are of no help.

“My camera was probably only about 20 feet shy of where it happened, but there’s nothing on there at all,” said Chang.

Whatever happened, road rage knows no limits, and Maryland State Police launched an initiative back in mid-July specifically targeting such incidents.
