E55 shot at on freeway (I5, Stockton, Norcal)
http://www.kcra.com/news/24185927/detail.html
Check out that news report... I was watching the video and when it showed the vehicle, it turned out to be a w211 AMG... Glad nobody was hurt... It was a female driving the car... I sometimes wonder if people will get jealous after loosing in a race and shoot your vehicle... People can be pretty rowdy in the bay... I hope that's not the case here...

This is exactly why I keep a Glock 22 and extra magazines (loaded and chambered) in my vehicles at all times! If you aim a gun in my direction, you better kill me or I guarantee I will put your *** down!
It's pretty sad though that this crap happens!

Hmmm pretty clear in the report???
Did you even read this report
A bullet narrowly missed a woman who was driving along Interstate 5 near Hammer Lane Thursday morning in Stockton.
The bullet pierced the front passenger window of the gray Mercedes sedan and lodged into the driver's side door.
The California Highway Patrol said it appears the shot came from off the freeway.
Witnesses said they didn't see any apparent road rage incidents nearby at the time.
The woman, who was driving to Sacramento from Discovery Bay, said she heard a gunshot, and that another driver heard it as well. Both drivers pulled over after the shooting.
The CHP and Stockton police are investigating the incident.
Glass fell onto the woman after the bullet shattered her window, but she was not injured.

Small town reporters, lol.
Everybody jumps to conclusions. Could have easily been some redneck shooting off a gun at tin cans. Who knows. Happens once in a while, but still a pretty rare event.
News people love to report this stuff and get everybody on edge, it sells ads.

punk assess shooting at cars...some even throw rocks onto highways around here. Luckily the bullet didn't go thru the window and injure the woman. Probably was a raven .22 or .25 $100 gun they used.

I would assume so... I see this being no different than hitting a tire tread on the roadway and shredding your front bumper, both not really your fault etc etc...
Hardest part I would assume is matching the window tint with the rest of the windows now... I've been in a similar situation before where a window had to be replaced and it was damn near impossible to match the tint exactly... To the naked eye you couldn't really tell, but from the interior the new window had a totally different sheen than the other windows... I guess that's not a bad trade-off for still being alive given the circumstances...

Although no one got hurt this time, this story could have had a much worse ending had the bullet hit the woman and caused a bigger accident or had the woman had a child who got killed, etc....
I hope they take the investigation seriously and follow through all the way to tend.

Stockton, California...the #2 Most Miserable City To Live In, according to Forbes. Only poor 'ole Cleveland tops it, with the remainder of the Mid West in tow...

Yes Cleveland will be more miserable now, if that's even possible. At least LeBron knew well enough to get OUT of there and go live it up in Miami.

No... This crap happens because there are people out there that don't give a s**t about other people and like to have fun shooting at and/or killing other people. I "roll around with firearms" for protection and protection only. Go preach your s**t to a different choir!
