So there are no independent witnesses, no neighbors peeking out the windows upon hearing gunfire? I understand it was late but all the more reason I'd be peering out from my darkened home.

Was it particularly cold that night? Just thinking about reasons why neighbors may not have heard, but having A/C on would lend itself better to that theory.

Is surname actually spelled MYERS? I saw that all over the ABC graphics. All of the earlier stories spelled it MEYERS.

Whole thing makes her family look bad, I hate to say.

Can't wait to hear more about Susan.

I want to clarify -

I never thought TM "deserved" this or contributed to whatever led to her being shot & killed. Sorry if my posts may have sounded like that.

I honestly don't know if there even was a driving lesson or a road rage incident that night. At this point I doubt everything about the story except that she was shot and she is deceased.

I think the family members have been trying to spin this in a way that paints TM & her son as the innocent parties. But they didn't have a family pow-wow to get their stories straight before talking to police. The father told the police one thing, then daughter tells the police something else, the brother tells them something else, and the other brother tells them yet another version. I think that's why the story is coming out in dribs and drabs, and why the new information that's emerging is in such conflict with earlier narratives. JMO.

The only that that I'm pretty sure of at this point is that we do not yet have the full truth. I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to this story than what has been released so far. JMO, of course.

Just craziness...went home to get son and gun and headed out again. LE is not saying, if they know, how they happened to find the car. Did they know these people?

perhaps the killer and tammy set up a meeting. but of course it could be a coincidence that she and her son found the guy by driving around looking for him. I'ld like to know if the shooter and the daughter's stories line up or not.

"Tammy Meyers' husband, Robert Meyers, defended his wife's and son's actions as well. He said mistakes might have been made, but his wife didn't deserve to die.

“People are panicked, things happen, and [the right things are not always done]. Emotions get ahead of what you should do. I think [it] might be a case of that,” Robert Meyers said."

I don't think anyone has said she deserved to die. However, the way the story is playing out at this moment, she was the instigator of the violence. What kind of a mother gets her child, confirns he is armed, and then goes looking for some driver she is mad at?

Did she deserve to die? Nope. But she doesn't deserve to be made into some kiind of combination hero/victim either.

The best that can be hoped for is that people learn from this incident, IMO.

I certainly would not show up at the vigil. Only heaven knows what might happen there. Retaliation by gang members?

What the What? Who said anything about gang members? Good Lord, don't give this family any more ideas.

That could be the next version.

Right?!?

Am I REALLY the only Gladys Kravitz? ;)

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 agree, this case garnered knee jerk sympathy for this family. Now we find out partial truth and it's ugly. The shooter needs to find a lawyer and turn himself in, claim self-defense.

For mother and son to go looking for the other car was in search of trouble and they found it. Jmo

ciao

I'm beginning to doubt if there even WAS another shooter. Why such a detailed description of the suspect, but a very, very vague car description? Grey sedan? That's it? They went out supposedly searching for this car. They had to know something more about it other than "grey sedan."

A few people are going nuts on the ******** acct page set up by husband, demanding he take the page down now that the truth has come out. One person there states that TM had been drinking that night, as she'd been at her son's birthday party.....and that the daughter was the one driving and a car had passed them and TM was the one to reach across from the passenger seat to honk the horn, yell and curse out the driver. So just thinking.....perhaps daughter was driving as TM under the influence and unable to drive them home? Would make more sense to me than a Mom out in the dark at that time of night teaching her 14 yr old daughter how to drive. JMO.

This sounds most believable

Just wow! What was she thinking to take her armed son to confront this guy?

I created this map of the school where the driving lesson was given, where the daughter said the 'collision' happened, and lastly the court area where the shooting took place. On street view of Google map you can examine all the sites.

The killing may have been self-defense but the cops may try to claim it was not. The son of the dead person, who discharged his own weapon, is their only witness. As the killer, I would not like those odds. I doubt we will ever know who took the first shot.
