Police: Road Rage on I-65 Leads to Shooting

Kentucky State Police are investigating an incident of road rage that resulted in a shooting this morning on I-65. 

The Bowling Green KSP post received a call from someone who claimed he was shot at on northbound I-65 near mile marker 27 in Warren County. 

"The caller stated that he accidentally cut this other vehicle off in traffic," said Trooper BJ Eaton.  "A road rage incident occurred thereafter for a short distance."

The caller’s vehicle was struck by a bullet in the passenger side rear door, though none of the five occupants were injured. 

The shooter then got off the interstate at the next exit and has not been found.  He was described as a black male with a scar on his cheek and was driving a newer model silver or gray Ford SUV.
