ORANGE, Calif.: A 6-year-old boy seated in the backseat of his mothers car on a Southern California freeway was shot to death by another driver in a road-rage attack Friday, authorities said.
The shooting occurred around 8 a.m. on State Route 55 in the city of Orange.
It was an isolated road rage incident between the mom and another driver from a white sedan, California Highway Patrol Officer Florentino Olivera told Los Angeles news station KTLA-TV.
Not sure if there were any passengers in that white sedan but apparently there was a shot fired from that sedan into the silver car, and unfortunately, the child that was seated in the right rear seat was struck, he said.
The boy died at a hospital. His name was not immediately released.
The freeway was shut down for hours as about a dozen investigators walked the lanes looking for evidence.
The CHP asked for assistance from any drivers who were on that section of freeway between 7:55 a.m. and 8:15 a.m., especially if their vehicles have dashboard cameras.
