Hope this was not someone on the board

My problem is he must have shot at the car from the back as the rear window was shot out... I dont belive you could shoot it out from the front standing as you would be shooting down not strait through, by my thinking then the driver would have been going around.

That’s absolutely crazy… The Marshall should be arrested. There is another report/video on that website, “Road Rage…”

Apparently they argued, a gun shot was fired, the guy in Camaro tried to drive away, then 5 more shots where fired, 1 shot killing him.

Now, how does that endanger the Marshall’s life?

Also, if you look at the video, only the rear hatch glass is shot out, the windshield is untouched. Now, the shot could have came in the driver's window, and out the hatch. But, if the hatch was shot first, you would think the windshield would get hit too? I don’t really know, but it looks suspicious…

This sounds pretty crazy, and yes, unfortunately, there are alot of people that abuse their power and authority. But, not concerning this case, just officers in general....
I think we all need to show some respect to the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to keep our cities safer. I can't imagine being in their position, having to make traffic stops at night and walk up to a car, when you have no idea who's inside. You have no idea what that person has on their record, how insane they might be. And you never know which car you pull over could be a drug dealer who doesn't wanna get taken alive, or a guy who might shoot you just because they have a warrant for a speeding ticket.
So if there are any cops on this forum, thanks for doing what you do. And everyone else, show em some respect now and then. If you don't respect em, get to know a cop or two, and you'll see em in a whole new light <they really are human too>.

Probe of Traffic Dispute Death Continues

Montgomery County police yesterday continued to investigate a Thursday night incident in which an off-duty deputy U.S. marshal apparently involved in a road rage incident along Rockville Pike allegedly fired repeatedly into the rear window of another motorist's car, killing him.

Ryan T. Stowers, 20, was fatally shot as he sat behind the wheel of his Chevrolet Camaro in the parking lot of the Mid-Pike Plaza about 8:30 p.m., police said. Stowers was shot by Arthur L. Lloyd, 53, a 28-year veteran of the U.S. Marshals Service assigned to U.S. District Court in Washington, police and witnesses said.

Stowers and Lloyd had an altercation in traffic, then pulled into the shopping center parking lot, where angry words escalated into a fistfight, police said. Witnesses said Stowers got into his car and was trying to drive away when Lloyd fired repeatedly.

Capt. John Fitzgerald, a Montgomery police spokesman, said investigators were interviewing, and in some cases re-interviewing, 40 to 50 witnesses. "The investigators have been working throughout the weekend," Fitzgerald said.

How can someone in law enforcement shoot a person in the back as they are driving away? Probably got his @ss beat and was taking it out on the guy by shooting him because he thought he could get away with it.

if any one ever pulled out a gun on me, and they were not in uniform, i would do what ever it took to get away from the situation, weather it be running them down or driving away. i would then seek the nearest police department, or uniformed officer i could find, and then try and figure out if the guy was a cop or not. my reason, i would be scared sh$tless, and without seeing a uniform, i would be outta there. if some one tries to run an officer down, and they miss, it is un nesecary to shoot them from behind, your first goal is to find cover , and call for backup. thats by the book any way, regardless of any of this stuff. this goes back to my post of "people need to call the police more often or mind there own buisness" they guy was an off duty cop, he should have called a uniformed officer, and follwed the guy in the camaro. if the camaro stopped, then he should have kept himself at a safe distance. this situation could have been avoided, and weather or not the kid tried to run him over, the officer is still at fault, just as much as the kid in the camaro. they never should have stopped.

ITS JUST NOT WORTH IT

Deputy U.S. Marshal Charged With Murder

Associated Press
Tuesday, November 2, 2004; 11:47 AM

A deputy U.S. Marshal was arrested this morning on murder charges in connection with a fatal shooting last week, Montgomery County police said.

Arthur Lloyd, 53, is being held without bond on charges of first-degree murder, use of a handgun in the commission of a crime of violence and reckless endangerment. The U.S. Marshals Service suspended him without pay. Lloyd was arrested at his home by county police and fellow Marshals.

The charges stem from an incident last Thursday night, when Lloyd was off-duty and driving with his family in his SUV. According to police, Lloyd got into a traffic altercation with Ryan Stowers, 20, who was driving a Chevrolet Camaro. Both drivers pulled into a shopping center where investigators said angry words turned into violence, when Lloyd allegedly pulled his service weapon and shot Stowers in the right leg.

Police said Stowers used his cell phone to call 911, got back in his car and began driving away when Lloyd fired numerous shots. Stowers was shot in the back and died.

Authorities said Stowers was from Redding, Calif., was in the U.S. Navy and was in the area on Navy-related business.

Montgomery County Police Chief J. Thomas Manger defended his force from criticism as to why Lloyd was not arrested sooner. He said police "interviewed over 40 witnesses, reviewed and evaluated extensive physical and forensic evidence, and have consulted with members of the State's Attorney's Office." Manger said it is "now appropriate to bring charges."
