Road rage murder? Joseph Walker, New Jersey police officer, charged in Md.
| MILLERSVILLE, Md.
Maryland authorities say they've charged a New Jersey police officer after an alleged road rage incident in which one person was fatally shot.
Maryland State Police responded Saturday evening to a shooting on the shoulder of the ramp from northbound Route 3 to Interstate 97 near Millersville.
Troopers say they were told that a road rage incident had happened between the two vehicles before they pulled over and the shooting occurred.
Troopers believe the driver of a minivan, 40-year-old Joseph Walker of New Jersey, shot the driver of a Honda, 36-year-old Joseph Harvey Jr. of Millersville, after Harvey approached the minivan. Harvey later died.
Troopers charged Walker on Sunday with second degree murder and manslaughter. He is a sworn officer with the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office in New Jersey.
