   Road rage incidents spike across Las Veg

   HENDERSON (KTNV) — Three dangerous road rage incidents occurred across the   
   Las Vegas Valley in just one week, including a tragic shooting that killed   
   an 11-year-old child on his way to school Friday morning.   
      
   Law enforcement officials are sounding the alarm as road rage incidents   
   become increasingly common throughout the valley, putting innocent drivers   
   and passengers at risk.   
      
   The deadly streak began November 10 when Metro Police responded to reports   
   of a man suffering from a gunshot wound near Tropicana and Mountain Vista   
   around 3:30 p.m. Police later discovered the violence actually started on   
   I-11 between Flamingo and Tropicana, leading to shots fired on the freeway   
   and putting local drivers at risk. Police are still searching for the   
   suspect.   
      
   Just two days later on November 12, Metro Police were called to another   
   scene in the south valley. Around 5:25 that morning, a driver reported   
   being struck in a hit-and-run near Arville Street and Blue Diamond Road.   
   The driver told police they had followed the suspect's car to Russell Road   
   and Torrey Pines Drive before the suspect pulled out a gun and fired at   
   them. Metro Police ask anyone who recognizes the pickup truck involved to   
   reach out to them.   
      
   Tragedy struck Friday, November 14 at 7:30 in the morning when Henderson   
   Police say an 11-year-old child riding in the backseat of a car on his way   
   to school lost his life after being shot and killed in a road rage   
   incident on the 215 near Gibson Road.   
      
   Experts warn incidents like these could rise during the holidays amid   
   increased traffic and stress. However, there are steps every driver can   
   take to stay safe.   
      
   If you encounter another driver who's aggressive or seems out of control,   
   slow down, let them pass and don't engage. The main goal is making sure   
   everyone makes it home to their loved ones safely.
