A Las Vegas mother of four killed in a road rage shooting last week got in her car with her adult son and his gun and drove around their neighborhood looking for the assailant who ended up shooting her in a residential cul-de-sac, police said Tuesday.
In a change from earlier accounts, police Lt. Ray Steiber said 44-year-old Tammy Meyers had her teenage daughter run in the house to fetch her armed son, who then went with her as she drove to find the driver who had earlier stopped his car in front of hers, got out and approached her with angry words.
“Mrs. Meyers is scared, but she’s upset,” Steiber said, adding that the intent appeared to be “so they can find who frightened them on the roadway.”

Despite earlier police accounts, Steiber said homicide detectives don’t believe the suspect’s car and Meyers’ green Buick Park Avenue sedan ever collided, or that the suspects initially followed Meyers and her daughter home.
No one in the Meyers family called police until after the shooting, Steiber said, and the gun that Brandon Meyers used was properly registered.
