• Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Calls Metairie Road Rage Shooting Justified (usacarry.com) — Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office investigators have ruled a recent road-rage shooting at Clearview and Airline Drive in Metairie as justified, though prosecutors still must decide on any charges. For Jefferson residents who carry or drive this corridor, the report underscores both the legal stakes in self-defense cases and the importance of de-escalating confrontations before they turn violent.
