On Friday, Sept. 8, at about 9:34 PM a freeway shooting occurred on SR-4 eastbound around Somersville Road in Antioch according to the City of Antioch.

The driver in the victim vehicle was struck and his passenger was not.

According to Officer Brandon Correia, Public Information Officer, the victim drove himself and passenger to a local hospital in Antioch.  An unknown suspect vehicle with unknown occupants fled the scene and continued on SR-4 eastbound.

CHP arrived on scene and at the hospital to contact the victim.  The male driver had indeed been shot in his upper extremity and his injury was non life threatening. CHP also inspected the victims vehicle and it did appear that it had been shot.

CHP also shut down areas of SR-4 by Somersville Road to search for, locate, and secure evidence located at the scene.

This is still an ongoing investigation and are still investigating whether this was a targeted shooting or an isolated road rage incident.

No further information was available.

What happened to all the security cameras which are supposed to be mounted along the I-4 freeway to be able to catch culprits who shoot at people? What happened to THAT plan?

They are all in Pittsburg from what I understand. So now I guess the shootings will be working their way further east. Pitiful. N the CHP are damn near non exsistant on HWY 4 since they finished the construction. Remember when they would be posted up off of Railroad n Loveridge…nobody would even speed…now it’s like NASCAR.

You got that right! All of the people that are protected are paying prop 13 taxes (hardly any) on million dollar properties while we in East County pay 4 times what they pay and get no support for anything and an animal services shelters that break animal cruelty laws. Really disappointed there are no cameras in Antioch. They need them up and down 4 and up and down Somersville all the way to Lone Tree.
