WoW, I'm amazed no charges have been brought to the killer...
I realise it was self defence by all accounts, and the man had a right to defend himself and his children, and I agree on the face of it no charges should be brought .. but in the UK.. if that had happened the defender, would be immediately arrested and jailed until he faced a long drawn out court case to decide his innocence or guilt..
Since it's a case of self defense with witnesses, the investigation comes before charges. The victim of the initial gun threat who had no choice but self defense is cooperating with authorities. If, at any point, investigators think it was anything more that self defense such as a staged, set-up to entrap the gun-slinging motorcycle traffic violator, it'll be taken before a grand jury. As it stands, the person who defended self and family will be free to deal with the trauma instead of a legal battle in which they're guilty until proven innocent.

Fort Worth police are continuing to investigate the fatal shooting of a motorcyclist during a road-rage incident last week.
Police were called Friday to the 9800 block of Interstate 35W, near Basswood Boulevard, where they found the victim wounded on the road. The man, identified as 19-year-old JaDerek Gray of Bedford, was taken to a hospital, where he died from multiple gunshot wounds.
Gray had been splitting lanes as he drove north on the interstate, police said Tuesday, and an SUV’s driver didn’t see him while changing lanes. Gray swerved to avoid being hit, police said, then drove ahead of the SUV and parked his motorcycle — stopping traffic on the highway. Gray then walked back toward the SUV and pointed a handgun at the driver, police said.
The SUV’s driver told Gray to put his gun down and that he had children in his vehicle, police said, but then he pulled out his own handgun and shot Gray as he continued to approach the SUV with his gun drawn.
Police said the SUV’s driver, whom they did not identify, is cooperating with the investigation and has not been arrested.
