Third Freeway Shootings in a Month, As Woman Injured in SF Shooting on 101 South

In yet another troubling display of highway violence, a woman found herself a gunshot victim while driving on Southbound Highway 101, near the I-280 split in San Francisco. The bullet source remains a mystery, as does the intended target. Adding to a growing list, this event highlights the surge of freeway shootings in the Bay Area over the past two years. These incidents, tragically numbering 154 in 2022, are largely attributed to heightened gang activity and rampant road rage, painting a grim portrait of regional transportation safety. With law enforcement searching for witnesses, the hope remains for justice in this and similar cases.
