91 Freeway in Corona shut down after apparent shooting

An apparent shooting on the eastbound 91 Freeway in the Corona area Tuesday night  forced officials to shut the busy artery down, snarling traffic in the area.

Footage on KCAL 9 TV showed firefighters administering first aid to a shooting victim on the side of the freeway. All the eastbound lanes near the 15 Freeway were blocked by California Highway Patrol vehicles.

Dispatchers at the CHP Inland Empire communications center declined to discuss the situation. An agency spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.

Motorists on Twitter were reporting traffic jams in the area. No other details were available.
