Two men are dead after they fatally shot one another in an apparent road rage incident in Southern California, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff\u2019s Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the men had his two children in the car — ages 2 and 5 — at the time of the double shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It could’ve been so incredibly simple, but unfortunately we have two people who lost their lives instead,” Mara Rodriguez, spokesperson for the sheriff’s department, told Los Angeles ABC station KABC<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jonathan McConnell, 38, who was driving a motorcycle, was involved in a hit-and-run traffic collision on the 210 Freeway with Aaron Harris, 37, who was driving a sedan, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff\u2019s Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n McConnell split lanes and collided with the sedan occupied by Harris and his two children, the sheriff\u2019s department said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Harris then followed McConnell off the freeway and into a parking lot. McConnell met several people known to him in the parking lot, according to the sheriff’s department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Harris then stopped his vehicle and shouted threats at McConnell. When McConnell approached the vehicle, Harris fired a gun at him, authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n McConnell then returned fire. Both men died after they were shot, the sheriff’s department said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An unnamed adult male at the scene also received a non-fatal gunshot wound to his hand during the incident, the sheriff’s department said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The children were unharmed in the exchange of gunfire, officials sad. \\<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We all get angry on the roads sometimes, especially these days there’s so much traffic out there and so many things going on,” Rodriguez told KABC. “But this is a great example of how things can go so wrong so quickly.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
