Drunk Harper was going over 100 mph with his twin children in the car when he crashed into two cars and sped away. He then rear ended a pickup, killing the man driving the vehicle. He then allegedly shot a man who walked up to the driver's side of his SUV - but it's not clear if he was a bystander, witness or someone in the crash.
