California trucker shot in road rage incident

California trucker shot in road rage incident
6/11/07
Quote:
A 43-year-old San Pedro, CA, trucker remained hospitalized in stable condition Monday after being shot in an apparent road rage incident in Long Beach early Friday.
Police aren’t releasing the trucker’s name, but said he was northbound on the Long Beach Freeway around 6:40 a.m. Friday morning, June 8, when an SUV that was entering the highway cut him off.
Police spokesman Jason Evans told “Land Line Now” on XM Satellite Radio that the trucker sounded his horn – and that that apparently prompted the shooting.
“The SUV then slowed down and pulled next to the truck, and the passenger fired twice at the truck, striking the truck driver twice in the upper body,” Evans said.
“The SUV then sped away at a high rate of speed, and the truck driver was able to pull off to the side of the freeway and call for assistance.”
Evans said the trucker’s wounds were not life-threatening. No arrests have been made, he said.

Makes you wonder what makes people think. If someone blowing their horn prompts this type of behavior can you imagine what they are capable of doing in a more threatening situation?

Cool

That's awful! I know it was CA, but what is the world coming to. That driver could have died and caused a wreck killing even more people. The ######### that shot at him should get put away for good.

Yeah, CA used to be 'the place to live' many, many years ago---back in the surfer era. My wife (#2) came from Northrich in the Valley---it was typical middle class CA when she grew up, but when we went back couple years after the earthquake, was borderline slums!! I drive CA alot being out of Phx, and dont see how the ppl there can live in all that traffic---pretty much 24 hrs/day---I prefer driving thru on weekends!! Good luck, Bonnie...JAM

Is this why my brother has 6 children and custody of NONE of them due to parental neglect? Oops, sorry, that wasn't nice, was it?

What he needs is strapped out / spread eagle over an ant pile in the Mojave desert.

Someone like that is worthless to society.
