Rapper Phora Injured in Freeway Shooting "Nightmare" - NBC Southern California

A rap artist driving on a Southern California freeway said something that felt like rocks struck the back of his neck before he realized someone had opened fire on his vehicle. Rapper Phora was driving with his girlfriend on the 210 Freeway near Pasadena early Tuesday morning when another motorist opened fire. The bullet struck his shoulder and neck. Officials are searching for a car that may be similar to a BMW or Infiniti G35, possibly a four-door, 2009 model. Police said the driver made the right decision to pull over instead of following the attacker's vehicle. "They didn't try to follow the vehicle," said Lt. Tracey Ibarra, of the Pasadena Police Department. About 650 emergency 911 calls regarding highway violence or road were received by the California Highway Patrol over the past three months. About 350 calls involved someone displaying a weapon, the CHP said. Last night was one of the scariest nights of my life. Some of you may have heard the news reports, but to clear the air, I was driving down the 210 freeway in Pasadena with my girl, when a silver car pulled up and fired 3 shots into my car. The bullet traveled from my shoulder through to my neck up towards the back of my head. I was shot with a. 45, and the bullet was stuck in the back of my head/neck JUST MISSING MY SPINAL CHORD, Vertebrae, etc. Source: www.nbclosangeles.com
