A youth baseball coach has been shot dead in a road rage attack in Minnesota while driving with his 15-year-old son who gave CPR until an ambulance arrived.
Jay Boughton was taking the boy home from a baseball game when the driver of another vehicle shot him in the head at around 10pm on Tuesday on Highway 169 in Plymouth.
His car veered off the road, smashing through a chain-link fence before crashing into parked cars at a nearby apartment parking lot.
