Another freeway shooting

This one was in Orange County just before 2 in the morning, and the victim is expected to live. Four people have been murdered while driving on SoCal freeways in the last six weeks.

Authorities said Sunday there was no evidence the freeway shootings were related, nor did they indicate any possible motives. Three shootings happened in the early afternoon, two others in the early morning. Two victims drove sports cars, two others were in sport utility vehicles, and one was in a sedan. Four of the victims were alone in their cars.

No one has been arrested — attesting to the difficulty police have in solving crimes committed on roads where evidence scatters quickly and witnesses are scarce.

The latest shooting was in Tustin on the northbound Costa Mesa Freeway, between the Santa Ana Freeway interchange and the 17th Street exit.
