A portion of Interstate 80 in Solano County was closed Friday evening due to a police standoff that began with a shooting just outside Santa Rosa, officials said.
The interstate is closed in both directions in the area of Green Valley Road and the Interstate 680 interchange, according to the California Highway Patrol’s Solano County office.
About 6:30 p.m., footage from NBC Bay Area showed authorities pulling the suspect from his vehicle and then placing him into an ambulance.
The incident involved a potentially armed suspect and members of the public are advised to avoid the area.
It began with a shooting that was reported about 11 a.m. just outside Santa Rosa.
A woman was heading south in a black SUV when another driver to her left fired a round, said Officer David deRutte with the CHP office in Santa Rosa.
It didn’t appear either driver knew each other, he said.
The woman, who was not injured, exited the freeway at Hopper Avenue and called authorities. She reported the shooter was driving a gray Toyota.
