No charges have been filed in a fatal road rage shooting off I-71 in Carroll County.

The incident occurred Saturday night at approximately 7:00 when two motorists took exit 43 off I-71.

“One of the drivers involved in the incident was speaking with dispatch at that time. The caller advised that the other driver (Daniel Shouse, of Carrollton) was displaying a firearm,” state police said.

After the vehicles exited the interstate, state police said Shouse executed a U-turn and drove back to the other driver. Shouse was then fatally shot by the driver of the other vehicle, who police have not identified. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Carroll County Coroner’s Office.

Kentucky State Police said it appears the person who shot Shouse was acting in self-defense. The Carroll County Commonwealth’s Attorney will determine whether to charge the shooter or possibly present the case to a grand jury.

The investigation is ongoing.
