A Michigan Department of Corrections parole officer was reportedly involved in a fatal shooting on a local roadway Wednesday afternoon.

Police believe a road rage incident resulted in the shooting on the northbound Lodge service drive at Euclid on Detroit's west side at about 4:30 p.m.

A man driving a Honda Civic apparently got out of his vehicle at a traffic light and started beating the parole officer's truck with a club, Local 4 reported.

Police say two female passengers in the Civic assisted by pulling the parole officer out of his vehicle.

The man armed with the club allegedly struck the parole officer over the head. Police say that's when the officer pulled out a gun and shot the man.

The man was taken to Henry Ford Hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Police believe that the parole officer fired in self-defense and he will not likely face charges, according to Local 4 reports.

Investigators are still working to determine what led to the altercation between the two drivers.

The alleged road rage incident was the second involving a gun in the metro-Detroit area on Wednesday, according to reports.

Romulus police are still searching for a man who allegedly pulled a gun on another motorist on Interstate 94 near Wayne Road.
