Investigators now confirm that a total of four vehicles were hit by gunfire.<\/p>\n<p>Calderon is expected to face multiple charges, including attempted murder, shooting at an occupied vehicle, assault with a firearm, evading police, and driving under the influence of drugs.<\/p>\n<p>CHP said the first shooting occurred just after 5:30 a.m. Wednesday near Highway 160 and Northgate Boulevard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One victim was seriously injured and taken to a local hospital. Investigators have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc10.com\/article\/news\/local\/sacramento\/what-we-know-about-suspect-sacramento-freeway-shootings\/103-e1eac6db-aeef-4459-a133-50c30d7a068c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">not identified any known relationship between Calderon and the victims<\/a>, and the incident appears to be a random act of violence, according to the CHP Valley Division.<\/p>\n<p>Parts of Highway 160 and Interstate 5 near downtown Sacramento were temporarily shut down as investigators searched for evidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CHP emphasized that these closures are often necessary to ensure a thorough investigation and to preserve evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities recovered two firearms following Calderon\u2019s arrest, which are being tested to determine whether they were used in the shootings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Sacramento County jail records show Calderon is not eligible for bail and is scheduled to appear in court on March 6.<\/p>\n<p>The CHP Valley Division Major Crimes Unit continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
