Freeway shooting in San Leandro leaves 1 hospitalized: CHP

worried about her myself. Driver is on edge tonight after another shooting on a Bay Area freeway. Good evening. I'm Julie Julie Haener. And I'm Greg Lee. Today's gunfire on interstate 580 left one person injured. The shooting happened this afternoon near grand avenue in San leandro. KTVU is lamonica Peters joins us now live from San Leandro with the latest on the investigation and community reaction. LaMonica. Julie, we still don't have a lot of information about this shooting incident, but California highway patrol did tell us that it happened around 215 this afternoon on Eastbound on 580 near Grand Avenue. So that's definitely a big fear when you're driving because people get very angry for no reason when it's driving. California Highway Patrol says a shooting was reported around 215 Sunday afternoon. A passenger in a vehicle traveling eastbound on 580 was shot by someone in another car. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital and their current condition is unknown. CHP has not confirmed a motive for the shooting drivers. We spoke to say they're more concerned now for their safety on the road. And I want to get out of my car and fight someone and pull out a gun on me or something. So it's definitely a fear, even when we're driving around, you know, we never know. Especially it gets late, you know, people on drugs and whatever this latest shooting is happening just a few weeks after an eight year old was hit by a stray bullet on 580 in Oakland and left paralyzed in the last two years, at least seven children have been shot on Bay Area freeways and last year there were 154 freeway shootings in the Bay Area. This driver from Concord says people need to keep a cool head when driving and be aware of their surroundings. Don't have no road rage right now. It's kind of dangerous. You know, you could literally lose your life just because someone cuts you on the freeway. You know. Now, as expected, this freeway shooting is still under investigation. And they're asking if anyone saw anything or if they have any information to please come forward and contact California Highway Patrol. Julie
