Thug jailed for road rage killing is shot dead in road rage attack after being released from prison

A THUG who was released from prison after serving a 10 year sentence for a road rage killing has been shot dead himself in a road rage attack.

Gary Lynn Durham, 40, from Florida, US, got caught up in a row on Wednesday that soon escalated into violence.

According to Col. Donna Luscynski of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, and investigators, the other driver was Robert Padgett, 42, and he warned Durham to cool down before he pulled a gun on him and opened fire more than once.

Despite paramedics coming to the scene, and giving CPR he later died.

Luscynski added Padgett was cooperating with law enforcement,  and according to , there were not plans to arrest him before a review of the case,

News channel  revealed officials are looking at the incident as a possible self-defense case or a "Stand Your Ground" case.

Durham killed 48-year-old Timothy Gibbs in another road-rage incident 15 years ago.

The incident happened on October 24, 2001, when he was 26 years old.

That altercation escalated after a war or words in the wake of the pair narrowly avoiding hitting each other in Tampa.

But for Durham it wasn't over, and he followed Gibbs to a nearby parking lot and then punched him in the face.

Prosecutors said Gibbs fell and hit his head on the pavement, and didn't even have his hands raised at the time.

He died after nine days in hospital having suffered a brain haemorrhage and a fractured skull.

After his death Durham said he threw the punch in self-defence and had not planned to kill Gibbs - but he was sentenced to more than 11 years for the attack with five years probation after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

He was released from prison in 2012, and went on to meet his wife Heather, who he married last year.

She told : "Just because he went to jail, that did not define who he was.

"He wasn't this angry person who went around angry all the time.

"People only see the side that the media spreads.

"They don't know him like I did or his family did."

Timothy Gibbs' widow, Nancy Gibbs, called it "poetic justice" when she was asked by station to comment on the death of her husband's killer on Wednesday,
