Police search for shooter in deadly road rage incident

The College Park Police Department are searching for the shooter who killed a man and woman in a deadly road rage encounter.

Police in College Park said two people are dead after a road rage shooting on Tuesday evening.

It started along Interstate 285 eastbound, police said, and then escalated as the two vehicles exited onto Riverdale Road, just south of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Police said a white BMW smashed into the back of a white Ford Explorer and that led to a shooting.

Investigators worked into the morning to try to piece together what led to the deadly shooting.

One of the drivers died at the scene, police said, and the second driver was rushed to an area hospital where they later died.
