Arrest made in road rage shooting

A man has been arrested following a shooting last week, which left a woman seriously injured. Police believe the shooting was result of a road rage incident.

The shooting happened Feb. 2 on Dublin Boulevard.

The victim was able to call 911 herself after being shot and gave police a vehicle description and a partial license plate number.

Investigators were able to connect 23-year old Khalil Sanders to a possible suspect vehicle.

When officers found Sanders he reportedly had a gun in a holster -- which was against his probation -- so he was arrested.

Police were able to collect more evidence that they said eventually connected Sanders to the shooting.

Surveillance video allegedly shows Sanders' car, a friend's car he was following, and the victim's car all turning onto Dublin that afternoon.

Investigators say after the victim cut off Sanders and drove in between him and his friend, Sanders got angry.

Sanders denied ever being on Dublin but his friend reportedly told police after Sanders was cut off, Sanders tried changing lanes to pass the woman's car but she wouldn't let him.

The victim, a 34-year old woman, told police after she saw Sanders get angry she tried changing lanes to get out of the way, but Sanders followed her.

Eventually, police say Sanders used a gun in his car to shoot through the back of the victim's car and hit her.

She was rushed to the hospital in serious condition, but police announced Monday that her injuries were not life-threatening.

A woman who lives in the area said at the time that she was scared to learn a shooting had happened so close to home.

"It's horrifying really to have something that violent at the end of your street when you feel like you live in a pretty safe part of town," said Michele Messenger.

Police said Monday that the shooting "appeared to be an isolated road rage incident."

"Get out of that area, don't engage with that individual," Lt. Howard Black with Colorado Springs Police said of what drivers could do if they encounter an angry driver on the road, "If that individual continues to follow you, pick up your cell phone, call 911."

This is not the first time Sanders has faced charges for hurting someone on the road.
