13-year-old killed in front of mum in road rage shooting after man allegedly follows them to dentist



13-year-old killed in front of mum in road rage shooting after man allegedly follows them to dentist
A woman lost one of her sons after a driver followed her to the dentist and opened fire at her and her three kids.
On Thursday Meghan Bigelow was driving her three boys to a dentist appointment in a Denver suburb when she was followed into the parking lot by another vehicle driven by  23-year-old Jeremy Webster.
In what police say was a road rage incident, Webster allegedly trailed Bigelow for about a mile before pulling up in the parking lot behind her, getting out of his vehicle and arguing with her as she exited her car with her kids. Webster then allegedly brandished a Glock 19 handgun and fired several shots point-blank at Bigelow, 41, who fell, before he aimed several more shots at two of her sons, 13-year-old Vaughn and 8-year-old Asa, according to a police affidavit.
The eldest boy died from his injuries.
Before leaving the scene, Webster made eye contact with another driver, a man in a pickup truck with his daughter, and shot at the truck as well, police allege. The pickup driver, John Gale, who was hit in his arms, threw his truck into reverse and fled with his unharmed child. Webster then left in his Toyota Corolla.
Bigelow’s third son, 12-year-old Cooper, who ran and was not hurt, told police that his mom had snapped a photograph of Webster’s license plate before they got out of their car.
Authorities who found that image on Bigelow’s phone were able to track Webster’s vehicle and arrest him about three hours later on Interstate 25 heading toward his home in Colorado Springs, according to the affidavit.
On Monday Webster was denied bail by Adams County Judge Donald Quick during his first court appearance. He is under investigation for first-degree murder after deliberation with intent, first-degree murder with extreme indifference, first-degree assault and criminal attempt to commit a Class 1 felony. He is due back in court Thursday to be formally charged.
