Last Friday two children ages 6 and 8 had to steer their father’s car off the road to safety after he was fatally shot while driving.
According to a spokesman for Houston’s police department, the incident happened at around 11 p.m. Police say that the 29-year-old father was driving with his sons on Interstate 10 when a bullet fatally struck him.
KHOU said the children were able to lead the car off the highway to a nearby strip mall to receive assistance.
According to reports, a witness had allegedly walked out of a restaurant, called 9-1-1, and helped the two boys.
The father was pronounced dead at the scene, but the two boys didn’t suffer from any injuries.
“We don’t know if it was road rage or if it was someone actually trying to get these individuals,” Lt. R. Willkens of the Houston Police Department told KTRK-TV. “So, prayers for their family. The kids are safe right now.”
Police are currently still investigating and searching for the shooter. As of now, there is no information on the suspect’s description, but Cannon informed CNN that they are looking for “a white passenger vehicle.”
