Shots fired during road rage incident on 14 Freeway in Lancaster

by •

Authorities are seeking the public’s help to find a motorist who fired shots at another motorist during a recent road-rage incident Friday night on the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway in Lancaster.

The confrontation “was initiated by one of the parties cutting off the other,” and it began around 9:28 p.m. Friday, March 18, at the intersection of Avenue I and Valley Central Way, which is just west of the 14 Freeway, according to a California Highway Patrol report.

“Both parties then traveled eastbound on Avenue I and entered southbound on SR-14,” the CHP report states.

When the vehicles were somewhere between Avenue I and Avenue K, “one party shot at the other, striking the victim’s vehicle on the left side. The victim rammed the suspect vehicle in attempt to escape, exited Avenue K, and re-entered northbound SR-14 from Avenue K, where he came to a stop on the right shoulder,” the CHP report states. No injuries were reported.

The suspect kept going, the CHP reported. No description was available of the suspect or his/her vehicle.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Officer Parks or Officer Murawski at the Antelope Valley Area CHP office at 661-948-8541.

  1. Why do people need to carry guns? I mean unless you’re a cop I don’t understand the mentality just to go run an errand. What gives?

    • Here in Lancaster our mayor said for us to carry guns illegally and shoot the homeless if they try to rob us. Our mayor is very smart. I was told that by councilperson Dorriss at last week’s event.

    • Because it’s a fact of life that criminals use guns to take what they want:

      As I was goin’ over the Cork and Kerry mountains
      I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin’
      I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
      I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya

      • The crime is in the taking of what they want. Those who have the will to do so, will. Guns or lack of guns won’t change that.

        Those who are victimized will be. Guns or lack of guns won’t change that either.

        People yap all the time about how more people having guns would deter crime. Criminals look at it as making things easier, because if they ever need a gun it will be easier to find someone to take one from.

    • I think because its too hard to throw a knife at a driver and have it cause damage. Guns nake it so much easier.

      And i guess they need to have a gun on them in case a person with a gun tries to shoot them, the way they are.

      They also carry them because they are terrified if they leave them at home. Hilary Clinton will take them away from their house the first chance she can. For some reason, this is one of their main fears in life.

  3. Good thing we are letting more people carry guns, otherwise temper tantrums like this would go unresolved.

    • You assume they had a legal license to carry. I would wager that such an individual that has to jump through quite a few legal hoops and fees to acquire such a license would not likely perform a felony such as this and let their temper get the better of them.

      • I assume no such thing. I also have seen PLENTY of people let temper get the better of them in situations where it cost them far more than “oh my, I put so much into getting a license.”

      • You should always assume that most of the angry preachy racist narrow minded complainers of the AV area who comment on the News, have not done a whole lot of thinking in general. Usuallly they can barely read a head line.

        That guy, Travis he’s more into just throwing a fit. He is very opinionated although the opinions are pretty lame.

    • So true! We need more weapons on the street to help counteract the current environment. The innocent need to be armed and ready for confrontation. Good observation Tim!

    • It’s the cops & criminals that shouldn’t be allowed to carry guns..

      Everyone else should be required to carry

      • LOL…sure, because only cops and criminals have temper tantrums.

        Oh, wait.

        Yeah that’s not true at all.

        • There’s video after video on YouTube of cops having temper tantrums when oath auditors refuse to let LEO’s violate their rights..

          Cops are stupid and that makes them dangerous when armed

          • Agreed, but it’s not like they have a corner on the temper tantrum market. I see no advantage to society in turning every parking lot fender bender into a firefight.
