Interstate Shootings

Description
Executive Producer Daniel Brown joins Louisiana Unfiltered host Kiran Chawla as they discuss the alarming rise in Interstate shootings in the Baton Rouge area. In the last three weeks, there have been four interstate shootings in the Baton Rouge area. Road rage-related shootings in the state have increased by over 400% from 2014 to 2023. While Louisiana ranks 22nd in the nation for road rage incidents involving guns, cities like New Orleans have seen a significant number of fatal and non-fatal shootings. The increase in road rage incidents is believed to be linked to impatience, speeding, tailgating, and aggressive driving.  Law enforcement faces challenges in solving these cases due to limited surveillance cameras on interstates and the difficulty of identifying vehicles involved in high-speed incidents. Solutions to the problem are limited, but individuals can take precautions such as giving aggressive drivers space, avoiding arguments or obscene gestures, keeping windows up and doors locked, and calling 911 if feeling threatened. Slowing down and practicing patience can make a difference in preventing road rage incidents. #interstateshootings #roadrage #louisiana  #BatonRouge  #NewOrleans #podcast #LouisianaUnfiltered #KiranChawla #unfiltered Timestamps  02:29 The Impact of Road Rage Shootings on Families 09:52 National Statistics on Road Rage Shootings 16:08 Factors Contributing to Road Rage Incidents 21:46 Concerns and Precautions for Interstate Travel 26:12 Targeted Shootings and Challenges for Law Enforcement 29:45 The Importance of Patience and Personal Safety 35:29 Taking Precautions on the Road Local Sponsors For This Episode: Unspeakable: A True Crime Podcast by Kelly Jennings:  Kelly is most recognizable for her sass and humor combined with a “no nonsense approach” to true crime story telling.
