A road rage incident that allegedly involved a gun has temporarily shut down all westbound lanes of Route 50.
Around 1 p.m. police received a 911 call reporting that someone in a vehicle had brandished a gun and threatened the occupants of another vehicle during some sort of road rage dispute. One of the drivers followed the other driver until police caught up with them at the intersection with N. Irving Street, according to scanner traffic.
Several people in the suspect vehicle have been detained while police sort everything out. No injuries have been reported.
At least one lane of westbound traffic is being reopened, though the right-hand lane is expected to remain closed while police investigate.
