Teen driver shot at multiple times in I-465 road rage incident
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A 17-year-old girl was shot at on the highway after honking her horn at another vehicle.
Indiana State Police Sgt. John Perrine told News 8 the incident happened just before midnight Saturday on the southeast side of Indianapolis.
He said in a post on Facebook that the girl was driving on Interstate 465 when a car cut her off. She honked her horn at the other car, and then someone in the other vehicle fired several shots at her.
Perrine says multiple bullets entered her car, including one that went right through the driver’s seat.
Fortunately, the girl was uninjured.
“If you see road rage, call 911 immediately, even if you are not involved,” Perrine warned in the Facebook post.
Perrine did not give any information on suspects or suspect vehicles, or when the incident happened.
He told News 8 that state police can’t release any details about the girl’s name or the place troopers took the report partly because she is a juvenile.
The Indiana State Police says there have been 15 road rage incidents in 2024 so far. The total number for 2023 was 56.
