Bullets fly in a Slidell neighborhood following an alleged road rage incident between two drivers.

The initial road rage happened Thursday evening near Highway 11 and Brownswitch Road.


“The suspected shooter followed the victim into the Tanglewood Subdivision. The incident escalated when the suspect stopped in the middle of a street and began shooting at the victim. The victim’s vehicle, and a nearby house, were struck with bullets. Thankfully, no one was injured,” the Slidell Police Department reported.

A short time later, a Slidell Police officer spotted the suspect’s vehicle near Pontchartrain and Spartan Drive. The shooter was taken into custody, without incident.

“We will not tolerate this kind of careless and inexcusable behavior in Slidell. We immediately deployed a vast number of officers to search for the suspect,” Slidell Police Chief Randy Fandal said. “Within a couple of hours, we located the suspect’s vehicle and made an arrest. Let this serve as another message that we will be relentless on solving and preventing violent crime in our community.”
