One dead, one wounded in Washington, D.C., road-rage incident: police

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Police searched for a suspect who shot one man dead and seriously injured another in an apparent road-rage incident that closed down a major Washington, D.C., highway during the Thursday morning rush hour. The shooting occurred on a busy stretch of Interstate 295 near the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington Police Chief Kathy Lanier told reporters. Two men suffering gunshot wounds were found inside a black SUV. One man was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Lanier said the preliminary reports indicated the shooting may have been a road-rage incident. Police are looking for the occupants of a vehicle that opened fire on the SUV. "This is rush hour traffic," Lanier said. "There were a lot of cars out here. People had to see something." (Reporting by John Clarke; Editing by Scott Malone and Bill Trott)
