[04-05-2022] Los Angeles County, CA – One Person Killed After a Deadly Freeway Shooting on 710 Freeway

One unidentified person was killed after a deadly freeway shooting in the South Gate area on early Tuesday morning, April 5, 2022.

The incident happened at approximately 12:25 a.m. on the northbound side of the 710 Freeway, just south of Florence Avenue.

A man driving a black sedan started to fire shots at the victim’s vehicle traveling in the other lane. It’s unclear what the motive of the suspect was.

The victim immediately pulled over in the center median and immediately called 911 while the shooter drove away from the scene and exited Florence Avenue.

The victim was rushed to an area hospital. Unfortunately, he later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. His identity has not been disclosed.

Information on the suspect’s identity and whereabouts is unavailable at the moment. The California Highway Patrol is further investigating the case.

Fatal Road Rage Shooting Statistics

Eight out of ten drivers surveyed by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety said they had seen or been the victim of aggressive driving in the month before the survey.

Such an encounter can quickly turn into a dangerous situation for the drivers involved if a gun is present.

The year 2021 was by far the worst since Everytown began keeping track of road rage statistics in terms of the total number of shootings and the timeliness of those episodes.

Of the 728 road rage events in the United States in 2021, 62 percent resulted in an injury or death.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the one who caused the other driver’s irritation or not; never respond or retaliate in any way to that person. The issue will only get worse as a result of this. Stay calm and avoid eye contact with the other motorist, reminding yourself that they’re just lousy at handling stress.
