Naked woman fires gun on busy California highway
Motorists were horrified as a woman got out of her car naked on a busy highway and began firing a gun.
A naked woman in California got out of her car on one of the United States’ busiest bridges and began firing a gun.
The bizarre scene unfolded during rush hour on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A driver called 911 to report that another driver had brandished a gun at them on the I-80 span, which crosses the San Francisco Bay, around 4:40pm on Tuesday local time, police said.
The woman then stopped in the middle of her lane, got out of her car with a knife and began yelling at other drivers, according to cops.
She then got back in the car and continued driving to Oakland, but stopped again at a toll plaza and exited the car — this time with a gun and sans clothing, officers told The Post.
The unnamed naked woman then turned around and began firing randomly at the occupied cars that were backed up behind her, police said.
She was captured on video footage walking along the shoulder and firing her weapon into the air before officers arrived and convinced her to drop her weapon, taking her into custody without incident, police said.
Miraculously, no injuries were reported, and the suspect’s motivation was unclear.
She was placed on a mental health hold in a local hospital and would be booked on unspecified charges upon her release, cops said.
The span, which carries about 40 million people a year, was closed for more than an hour eastbound, with residual delays lasting through the evening.
