The California Highway Patrol arrested a man in connection with two freeway shootings in the East Bay that unfolded within hours on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. The first shooting, which occurred on Highway 4 near Willow Pass Road in Concord, resulted in injuries to a driver. Approximately four hours later, a second shooting took place on Highway 24 near 13 in Oakland, where bullets struck a car but thankfully did not injure anyone.
