hit by a bullet

Shot. The word is "shot".

some writers don't like to use the same word on adjacent sentences, the title had shot, so they chose hit for the subtitle

Could've gone with murdered or fatally wounded. Of course it's all half measures when it's still passive voice. The right play is " fatally wounded when they chose to unleash their rage in a fit of ego."

Here I was thinking “oh maybe it was a stray bullet?” Nope, just shitty passive voice journalism

After reading that, the other driver should face charges as well. They were both brake checking other and fully engaged in the altercation.

I don't believe in the death penalty, but people who pull guns over road rage should be tortured almost to death.

they should be forced to drive behind my uncle and his perpetual left turn signal for the rest of their natural lives.
