An 11-year-old boy was killed in a road rage incident in Henderson, Nevada, after two drivers got into a heated exchange along the freeway and one fired into the other vehicle, according to police.

"We lost a life today that we didn't have to lose," Henderson Police Department Chief Reggie Rader said during a press conference on Friday.

At approximately 7:30 a.m. on Friday, two vehicles in traffic began "jockeying for positions trying to pass each other on the congested freeway," police said during a press conference on Friday.
