St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's deputies say a man who yelled at a passing motorist to slow down paid for it with his life Tuesday morning.
The man, whose name has not been released, was shot to death as he prepared to take his son to school. Two people were injured, including the dead man's son. Deputies say the alleged shooter is in custody. Authorities have not released his name.
The shooting happened at about 7:15 a.m. in Meraux, near New Orleans. Investigators say the man was on his front porch when a car came speeding down the street. When the man yelled at the driver to slow down, police said the driver stopped, exited his vehicle and opened fire.
