Another Freeway Shooting - IEDs Coming Soon? With Video
So emergency personnel arrive at the scene of a freeway rollover crash in L.A. and find the driver with a bullet in his head. The thing is, we’ve been seeing a lot of this lately…
LOS ANGELES - The driver found fatally shot in the head in a car crash on a freeway was a 20-year-old Los Angeles man.
Authorities responding to reports of a rolled-over vehicle Sunday morning in the San Fernando Valley found the victim, Marlon Gordillo Sical, in a crashed sedan, shot in the head, a fire official said.
Sical was found at about 8:15 a.m. on Highway 101 near the San Diego Freeway, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Cecil Manresa said.
Police believe Sical crashed the car after being shot, said Los Angeles police Officer Norma Eisenman.
Authorities did not know what led to the shooting, however, and were trying to establish exactly where it occurred. The car crashed near a freeway onramp, so it is possible the victim was shot on a surface street and then drove onto the highway, Eisenman said.

Meanwhile, about 30 miles southwest in Long Beach, police were investigating a second freeway shooting that left a man hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
The victim told officers he was driving north on the 710 Freeway on Saturday evening when another motorist shot at him, Long Beach police Officer Jackie Bezart said. The victim was drove off the freeway and phoned for help, she said.
The man characterized the shooting as a road-rage incident, Bezart said.
The shootings were the latest in a string of Southern California freeway shootings stretching back several weeks.
On Feb. 27, a 46-year-old man was shot in the torso and right arm while driving on the Foothill Freeway northeast of Los Angeles. He survived.
In another case, a 26-year-old man died after a shooting on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley on March 1 that followed an argument on Hollywood Boulevard.
A 54-year-old woman was found about two weeks later shot in the head in a car crashed on the San Bernardino Freeway in eastern Los Angles County. She later died at a hospital.
It was not known whether arrests had been made in those shootings.

Road rage and gangs. Or like in the recent I-64 shootings in Va…punks…who got caught by hwy cameras. Ca is a big state. Hwy cameras need to be installed in many more places.
IED’s next? Who knows…I wouldn’t put it past gang members to do that. If it happens, I hope CHIPS raids every single known gang house and kills or captures every gang member that they can throughout CA.
