A 4-year-old boy was fatally shot in front of his parents in a road rage incident involving two people who allegedly chased down the victim's family and rained gunfire on their vehicle. Via ABC30.com:

The fatal shooting occurred Friday night in Los Angeles County after the assailants allegedly cut off the family's car on a highway in Lancaster, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

"It's unimaginable. This could have been any of our families. It could have been any of us," Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris told Los Angeles ABC station KABC.

A 29-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman were arrested and booked at the Los Angeles County Jail on suspicion of murder, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement to ABC News on Sunday. The suspects' names were not immediately released.

And what horrible encounter brought matters to this violent conclusion?

"During the incident, the suspect driver cut them off and then began following them through several surface streets," the LASD said. "While being pursued by the suspects, the victim driver slowed his vehicle, at which time the suspect driver pulled up along the passenger side of the victim's car and began shooting."

A bullet was fired into the family's car and hit the child, who was in the backseat, in the torso, authorities said.

"His father and mother, who were in the vehicle, immediately transported him to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased," according to the sheriff's statement.

God bless America, where we can vent our feelings with deadly weapons, the way God intended it to be!

WTF is wrong with people?
