A shooting that wounded a driver on the 105 Freeway on Thursday afternoon triggered an hours-long roadway closure that snarled traffic for miles in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n
California Highway Patrol officers responded to a call at 1:45 p.m. reporting an unresponsive driver slumped over in the seat of a black Toyota Camry. Officers found him suffering from a gunshot wound inside his vehicle in the carpool lane on the eastbound portion of the freeway west of Vermont Avenue, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The driver was taken to a hospital in critical condition. The right rear window of his car was shattered, according to the CHP. <\/p>\n
Investigators are searching for a suspect and suspect vehicle. No weapons have been recovered and it is not clear what triggered the violence. <\/p>\n
The shooting prompted the closure of all lanes on the eastbound 105 Freeway west of Vermont Avenue. It is not clear when the stretch of freeway will reopen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A shooting that wounded a driver on the 105 Freeway on Thursday afternoon triggered an hours-long roadway closure…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271852,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[6577,117945,7,9,33672,8,43861,852,287,117946,117944,5154,63,2663,135,821,178,117943],"class_list":["post-271851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-authority","tag-black-toyota-camry","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-highway-patrol-officer","tag-california-news","tag-carpool-lane","tag-chp","tag-driver","tag-eastbound-portion","tag-extended-closure","tag-freeway","tag-los-angeles-times","tag-mile","tag-shooting","tag-traffic","tag-vehicle","tag-vermont-avenue"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271851"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271851\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
