The good news ... The guy is in custody and charged with first degree murder.
The bad news ... he was a legally carrying CCW permit holder.
Now there is a debate beginning (not in this article) that the agent waved him down and began the whole argument including supposed witnesses that said the agent "reached for his gun" which was still in the car, when the suspect drew and fired.
Could it have been self defense ???
Of course, running will not help his defense if he goes that route.

This will be messy.
... agreed .........That may be, but maybe he just panicked. Not saying I would have done it and certainly not condoning the actual act of running, but every once in a while people do panic, even when they really have no reason to.
We don't know all of the details, but you can't ignore the fact that this guy dyed his hair. That is not panic, that is planning.

Well he dyed it after the shooting so that was an attempt to hide. does not mean he was not in paniic mode. I am going to reserve any oppinions until I know more. Just because it was a federal agent does not prove one way or the other who started what. We will have to see what independent witnesses have to say.
No doubt there is more to the story then we are reading. A federal agent should no better than to be involved in a road rage incident, especially considering that he had his 12 yr old daughter with him.
On the other hand, you have a shooter who has a CWL and has been made aware of all the statutes related to defending oneself and using deadly force. Running, hiding, and dyeing ones hair is not consistent with this.
I am not taking either side, but just looking at it realistically with what we know right now.
