A 51-year-old man was shot and killed in Glen Burnie after a road rage incident that involved erratic driving and tailgating a motorcyclist on Thursday night, authorities said.
Scott David Guhse, 51, was found dead in the roadway on Route 10 with a gunshot wound at approximately 8:20 p.m., the Anne Arundel County Police Department said Friday.
Police said Guhse had closely followed, yelled at and nearly collided with a 22-year-old motorcyclist on East Furnace Branch Road.
Both vehicles pulled to the side of the road. The motorcyclist told police that the driver of the other vehicle then came at him.
“The driver of the other vehicle got out with a hammer, charged the driver of the motorcycle. At that point the motorcycle operator withdrew a handgun and fired rounds, shooting and killing the driver of that other vehicle,” Marc Limansky, a spokesperson for Anne Arundel County Police, told WJZ.
Investigators said the shooter, who has not been publicly identified, had a permit to carry a concealed handgun. The Anne Arundel County Fire Department pronounced Guhse dead at the scene.
The motorcyclist told police he was the victim of an assault and the shooter in the incident.
The police department said the county’s homicide unit is investigating the incident.
Police have asked anyone with information to call 410-222-4731.
