Summary of the eRumor
A warning from law enforcement that if you see a car driving without headlights, don't flash your headlights or in any other way try to signal the car about the lack of lights. The reason is that gang members, as a part of their initiation, are driving intentionally without headlights then are required to chase and shoot at anyone who tries to tell them the headlights are off.
One version that came up in 2005 says that September 23 and 24 are "blood initiation weekend" and that police departments across the nation are being warned to stay on the alert. The message claims to be from the DARE program.
