Kathy, good morning.

Good morning.

In the news this morning, officials are investigating three separate instances of road raid shootings in Philadelphia, which all took place in the last two weeks.

Police are looking for a man who opened fired at another driver on the Schuylkill Expressway on Tuesday night at about 830.

Pennsylvania State Police say the shooter was driving a red Ford Mustang.

Both vehicles were traveling eastbound on

the Schuylkill near 30th Street. State troopers found shell casings on the road but say no one was

seriously injured. The victim crashed their vehicle while fleeing the gunfire in a separate case

that occurred on Monday night. A minivan was riddled with bullets driving north on 95. A male driver in an older model

Volvo fired several shots grazing the victim, according to police. Officials say that victim was able to

exit at Island Avenue and call 911. Both incidents come on the heels of another case of road rage

that happened also on 95, this one at Columbus Boulevard. In that incident, police say a motorcyclist fired several shots at a minivan in broad daylight.

There have been no arrests in any of the cases.

According to 6ABC over the last 12 months from May 22 to May, 2003,

there have been 481 road rage-related shootings across the country.

So far, there have been nine this year in Philadelphia. A couple months. Yeah, years ago, when I was more responsive to aggressive drivers and a bit of a hothead myself,

these days, I don't know if I survive.
