(KRON) — A man who allegedly fired a gun at another driver on a busy stretch of Interstate-280 in San Jose was booked into jail on suspicion of attempted murder, the California Highway Patrol said.
The freeway shooting happened near the Saratoga Avenue exit at 5:10 p.m., while rush-hour commuters are usually stuck in gridlock traffic, on May 15. A victim called 911 reporting that he was driving on I-280 when another driver opened fire.
“The victim, who was not injured in the incident, safely exited the freeway where he was met by officers,” the CHP wrote. Officers found a bullet hole in the victim’s front fender and traffic cameras helped identify the suspect’s vehicle. It was registered to Manuel Cadenas, 41, of San Jose, the CHP said.
