CALABASAS, Calif. (AP) - A dog was seriously wounded but two people escaped injury when someone in a car fired a gun into another vehicle on a Southern California freeway, authorities said.

The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. Sunday on northbound U.S. 101 near Calabasas, the California Highway Patrol said.

Someone in a Dodge Charger fired about five rounds into another vehicle for unknown reasons, the highway patrol said. A man and a woman in the vehicle were not hit, but the dog was struck at least once.



Officers were seen inspecting the car riddled with bullet holes at a gas station just off the freeway northwest of Los Angeles, ABC 7 TV reported Monday.

No arrests were made.

The dog was taken to an animal hospital for treatment, the news station reported.
