Suspect in Las Vegas road rage shooting taken into custody following standoff


Las Vegas police took a suspect into custody Thursday afternoon in the killing of a mother of four following a road rage incident last week, officials said.

SWAT teams had surrounded a home about a block from where 44-year-old Tammy Meyers lived. At one point, Meyers' husband showed up at the scene and attempted to cross the street in front of the house but he was held back by police. He then yelled, "There's the animal, a block away."

Jesse Roybal, a spokesman for Las Vegas Metro Police, said earlier that the suspect remained inside the home. Authorities had been trying to contact him using a bullhorn to get him to surrender.

It was not immediately clear if the man was believed to be the shooter.

Meyers was shot in the head outside her home in a Las Vegas cul-de-sac shortly before midnight last Thursday night after confrontations that began when she was giving her 15-year-old daughter an after-hours driving lesson and the girl honked at a driver she felt was speeding, police said. More
