I-5 Road Rage Incident Turns Deadly: State Patrol

MILTON, WA - A 60-year-old man is dead after an apparent road rage incident along I-5 near the King-Pierce county line. Aubrey Bowlin, 24, of Tacoma, allegedly shot Bruce Jones, of Roy, during a fight alongside the highway, according to state patrol.

The incident happened just before 5 p.m. in the southbound lanes near Milton. Bowlin, a motorcyclist, was driving ahead of Jones in the HOV lane. Traffic came to a stop and Jones's SUV traveled onto the road's shoulder, coming parallel with Bowlin's motorcycle. Both drivers exited their vehicles, according to state patrol.

This started a physical fight, which ended when Bowlin shot Jones once. She called 911 and stayed at the scene until police arrived, according to state patrol. Jones was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency responders.

The shooting caused long delays along I-5. The two left southbound lanes were blocked as well as the northbound HOV lane.

State patrol reported that the case is under investigation and no charges have yet been filed.
