At around 9 pm, Dennis and Brandy were going back home after spending the day in Lincoln City on the Oregon Coast. KPTV reported that another driver got agitated while on the highway and passed them.

However, their ordeal was far from over. Brandy recalled how at one point, the car tried to run them off the road. "They were driving up on the back of us close, driving into oncoming traffic and trying to veer towards us and send us into the forest," Brandy said.

It was at this point, Brandy said, they decided to pull over and call 911. Dennis stepped out of the vehicle, while Brandy dialled 911. The car which was chasing them pulled over and started shooting indiscriminately.
