GUILTY NV - Tammy Meyers, 44, fatally shot at her Las Vegas home, 12 Feb 2015 - #1

[StephanieH]

Two things on my mind right now - I hope that they do find the occupants/driver/alleged gunman of other car because:

(a) witness accounts of what happened and IF there are THREE people that will be THREE accounts of what happened

(b) IF there was another handgun involved - perfect - let's do forensic analysis of that gun to see if it was that bullet that killed the mother or was it a bullet from the son's gun

MOO

That drawing could be anyone. The car is also pretty generic. At least they didn't say they were black...I'll give them that. (I don't think there was a car. I think the son shot her, accidentally or on purpose.)

Usually people who have something to hide won't call LE when they ''should''' IME.....

The sketch looks like a young Gary Busey to me. I need to put my waders on for this case.

hope tox screens and bacs were ordered for all concerned

Probably only for TM as part of the hospital lab tests. I know what you are saying though.

watched the interview and nearly fell from my perch.....''woke up 22 yr old son who went with mother in the car to find the car that offended her ((my words)). They found each other and then separated again (cars) and mother drove home. That's when the ''suspect'' car drove up and started firing (no mention if words were exchanged - just gunfire). Son looked behind him and mother had been shot.'"

put her kid in danger over this -- smh

"The pair drove around looking for a gray or silver sedan. Meyers and her son found the vehicle, police said, and followed it for a while before Meyers decided to go home.

Once home, a silver or gray sedan drove into their cul-de-sac, police said, and someone began shooting at them. Meyers' son returned fire, and the car sped off. Meyers was hit."

No telling what we'll hear next. Terrible, awful tragedy for TM & others though. RIP

So she arrives home safely with her daughter after the incident but instead of going inside and calling the police, she has her 22yr old son bring his gun and go with her to look for the car. And then the Police Lt. makes the statement "I would never say that anybody went looking for trouble". Who is he kidding? That's exactly what she went looking for and she found it. Shots were exchanged but who actually shot first? The story seems to be changing, a little at a time.

teaching your kid to drive is nerve racking but I think most of us would agree first step is to give your kid ''confidence'' and to respect the rules and be courteous just to stay alive.

Back in the dinosaur era, I remember my driving instructor as a pillar of calm as I was a shaking bowl of jello.

Adults ''should be" the calm in the car when teaching kids.

If someone honks, just ignore it .... this whole thing is a head shaker to me MOO

I am still baffled by a couple of things. Vegas or no, 11p.m. sounds like a very odd time to give a parking lesson. I'm sure it was lit up but still, why not wait until daylight? Secondly, the accounts I've read last night (CNN) says when the victim arrived back home she sent her daughter into the house with instructions as to the son were to "wake him up, tell what happened and to get his gun". The ( ) are mine. The fact that she did not go into the house tells me that at least at that point fear was not a factor because I would think under the circumstances if it were more likely than not you'd seek refuge and safety within your home.

Wow, and here I thought the 'wild wild west' was a thing of the past. Glad I don't live in the U.S. if this sort of ?gun-slinging vigilantism in a residential neighborhood is so commonplace. Most people I know, had they been involved in a crash/road rage incident would not be calling home to tell their hubby and adult son to have their guns ready should the road-rage perps follow them home.....most I know would be first calling 911 and if so concerned about their safety they'd be driving to the nearest police station - not leading road raging individuals they're afraid of, back to their home...particularly when their young teenage daughter is in the vehicle. I can't imagine living in a neighborhood where there are gunfights going on like that, putting innocent passersby at risk.

I am more inclined to believe that TM knew the perps....perhaps they were connected to her 23 yr old son, or the younger son.....perhaps there had been some ongoing battle between this group of perps and one of her sons...and TM had been targeted by them, and the reason she called home for "backup" from her husband and 23 yr old son was because there was a good reason she didn't want to involve LE.

Definitely strange to me, too, that she was allegedly giving driving lessons to her daughter that late at night, on a school night.

Hate to say it but I'm more inclined to agree that there is something hinky here, there's more involved than LE or TM's family is disclosing. My gut says this was not just some random traffic accident-turned-road rage incident. JMO.

I don't find it odd. I imagine on her way home she called her son/home to tell him a carload of people had threatened her and to be ready with his firearm in case they stopped when she pulled in the driveway. Or her daughter could have called her brother as they were heading home.

The only thing I wish had been a different outcome is I wish the brother had been able to fatally shoot the murderer before he could shoot the mother but traumatic events like this are happening so fast.

I also find it odd and rather misleading, that the husband created a ******** acct 3 days ago, to gather donations for hospital and funeral expenses. Odd to me because this is usually something set up by a victim's friend or family member other than their spouse. Also if you read the "story" in the details there, even though he created the acct, it's written as if it were someone else writing it; almost like in third-person tense. Lastly, in that description of the 'story' posted there, it conveniently leaves out the part where TM came home/dropped daughter off/sent daughter inside to get 22 yr old brother and his gun so they could go driving around to look for the perp. It's written to make it sound like TM came home with daughter and at that time she was senselessly shot. Not sure if I'm allowed to post link to the ******** acct but easy to find, just go to ******** and do a search for "Tammy Meyers Memorial Fund - Las Vegas"

As this story is unfolding, it's sounding to me like Tammy Meyers was the one with "road rage," and the silver sedan driver had maybe a touch of "road annoyance." Originally, the daughter got annoyed at the sedan driver, who got annoyed back, and there was some sort of either fender bender or somebody brake-checked someone, or there was simply an exchange of words.

Then they all went their separate ways. Then the mom goes home, sends the daughter inside, and gets her son, with his gun, to go looking for the other driver.

Who had the road rage here? The original incident was over. If the mom and her armed son hadn't gone looking for the other driver, there would be nothing to see.

Unless there's even more to the story. Given that the story as originally told appears to have included a fair number of lies and omissions, it makes me wonder how much we can believe about any of it.

Was the mother really giving the daughter driving lessons in a school parking lot? I've seen it reported as "parallel parking lessons" in the parking lot, and also as lessons on "merging and changing lanes." And really -- driving lessons at 11:30 at night? Who does that? Maybe there were no parking lessons at all. Was there perhaps something else, that no one wants to talk about, happening in that parking lot or in the vicinity of the school.

Was the mother really driving when the incident happened? Or might the daughter have been driving, illegally?

Did Mrs. Meyers, her husband, her son, or anyone else in her family know the driver or passengers of the other car? Did they perhaps meet up with them on purpose at that school parking lot, for as-yet-unknown reasons?

The police sure have their work cut out for them, trying to figure out what actually happened that night.

I don't find it odd. I imagine on her way home she called her son/home to tell him a carload of people had threatened her and to be ready with his firearm in case they stopped when she pulled in the driveway. Or her daughter could have called her brother as they were heading home.

The only thing I wish had been a different outcome is I wish the brother had been able to fatally shoot the murderer before he could shoot the mother but traumatic events like this are happening so fast.

If I felt threatened by someone, I can't even imagine calling home and telling one of my children to be ready with a firearm, rather than calling the police and/or driving to a police station rather than going home. JMO

So you supposedly get in a road rage incident, you get away, you go home & get your adult kid with a gun, go find the other car, follow the car... And don't get license plate or call 911.

Not buying any of this fairytale. IDK why the father and kids chose to call it road rage but I think the whole incident started and ended at home.

Who were the witnesses to the 3 people in the silver/grey car? Any neighbors or just family members?

At least 2 would be her kids. I have seen a neighbor (supposedly a neighbor) comment on an article. He said he heard the shots but that's all, IIRC.

 

[LayzeeDayzee]

I'm curious why TM's husband set up the crowdfunding account, to allegedly obtain donations to help pay funeral and hospital expenses (this is exactly what's stated in the account info) when, as an employed registered nurse, you'd think she would have had good benefits in terms of life insurance (of which the payout would easily cover funeral expenses) and health benefits that would have covered her hospital bills. RNs have some of the best benefit packages out there.

 

[SeeAlice]

I don't know if this was an attempt to make lemonade out of lemons or a straight up coverup but just thinking about the kids & father possibly colluding to put this story together is very troubling.
