LPD: Victims tailed by irate driver, feared for life

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A driver’s worst nightmare became a reality for two young adults Friday night.

Just before 11 pm, officers with the Lincoln Police Department (LPD) responded to a weapons violation in progress near 56th and Leighton Ave.

LPD says a 21-year-old man was driving westbound on Holdrege, between 84th and 70th Streets, with a 19-year-old passenger when they saw a blue Chevy Silverado stopped in the road.

The Chevy suddenly reversed into a nearby driveway. The victim honked and swerved to avoid being hit.

It was then that the Chevy began to follow him.

The driver of the truck was tailgating, honking, and yelling at the victim as they drove towards 56th and Holdrege Streets. Once they reached the intersection, the Chevy driver left his truck and pointed a gun at the victim.
