Police are still trying to determine if the shooting was an instance of road rage, Alaniz said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">About half an hour later, Houston police received a call about a shooting at a mechanic shop about 7 miles (11 kilometers) southeast of the first shooting.
