The California Highway Patrol is investigating a shooting that occurred at approximately 1:15 am Saturday morning that left a man in critical condition.
The incident occurred on Highway 4 near the Bailey Road off ramp. This is the second shooting in less than 24-hours in the same area.
Then when CHP arrived they discovered multiple bullet holes which were on both sides of the vehicle which they alluded to being possibly two different shooters.
The driver was transported to a local hospital with gunshot wounds. CHP was expected to release more information later Saturday morning.
On Thursday, at approximently 8:34 pm Thursday, Contra Costa CHP was advised of a possible freeway shooting incident that occurred in the area of HWY-4 eastbound on the Railroad Avenue off-ramp in the City of Pittsburg.
Units arrived on scene where a vehicle had collided with a tanker truck after the shooting.
The victim (adult male in his twenties) was driving a blue 2018 Honda Accord and was the sole occupant. The victim related he did not have information regarding the suspect(s) or suspect vehicle.
He was transported to John Muir Hospital for a gunshot wound but is expected to survive. This does not appear to be a random shooting.

Why can’t they just fire bean bags at each other or talk about it over a cup of coffee?
It will only get worse! If the speeding cell phone using drivers don’t kill you on HWY 4, random bullets will.
Lets hope the Gunfire Locator system can help police.
When will they get the coward who killed Braun Harold? RIP
The Antioch PD doesn’t have one of those. I have no idea about Pittsburg
When will they catch the coward who killed Braun Harold?RIP
Don’t they have any cameras? There have been so many shootings. Not that expensive. Same for these people starting fires around Pittsburg during a drought.
