A man killed in an apparent road-rage shooting near Philadelphia on Wednesday was fatally shot by someone who thought he was driving too slow, police said.
“A man lost his life today over traveling in his car too slow in rush-hour traffic,” Springfield Township Police Chief Joseph Daly said at a news conference. “It’s just not acceptable.” King Hua, 54, was killed while he was stopped at a red light about 8:40 a.m. on State Road, police and the district attorney said.
A dark sport utility vehicle used the shoulder to pull ahead of Hua’s car, and then a male passenger got out and fired two shots through Hua's windshield, Daly said.The account of the killing in Springfield Township, which is a community of around 25,000 around 10 miles west of downtown Philadelphia, is from witnesses, Daly said.
Police are searching for a gunman who they say killed another driver in Delaware County, Pa., in a road-rage shooting prompted by the shooter’s anger that the victim was apparently driving too slowly.After Hua was shot, his car then went forward and struck a work van, police said.
