Jeffersonville - A woman accused of shooting a man during a case of road rage and then calling for help may not face charges. The confrontation happened at a busy intersection in the southern Indiana community of Jeffersonville.
Witnesses say an aggressive motorcycle driver blocked an SUV from going around. When the two stopped, the motorcycle driver jumped off his bike. The driver of the SUV, Yolanda Parrish, hit the man with the vehicle door, picked up a gun and then shot him in the chest. Witnesses say Parrish and her 15-year-old son then stood over the man cursing before making this call to 911.
Dispatcher: "You need to put the gun down on the passenger side floor of the car."
Caller: "It is. I am out of the car."
Dispatcher: "Okay. Keep your hands on the either the hood or the roof of the car where they can see them and just stay there like that until the police get there so that way there is no mishaps, okay?"
Caller: "I put it up under the seat."
The motorcycle driver is in a medically-induced coma but he is expected to survive. Police say Parrish acted in self-defense. The prosecutor will decide if she'll face charges.
