The California Highway Patrol is looking for a suspect in a Tuesday shooting on I-580 in Castro Valley that left a man wounded.
CASTRO VALLEY — A man was shot while driving Tuesday evening on Interstate 580, the California Highway Patrol said.
Three other occupants of the vehicle were not injured.
They were able to drive to a medical center, where the CHP was notified. The man shot, a passenger in the vehicle, was transferred to a hospital with a wound that was not considered life-threatening. His age and place of residence were not released.
The shooting happened about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the eastbound lanes of I-580 near Fairmont Drive.
