Witnesses to Shooting Close Freeway at Mission Street

On Monday, April 10, the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 north were shut down close to the intersection of Mission Street while police looked into what social media postings claimed to be a gunshot. Police officers are seen in social media videos searching brushy areas on the east side of the motorway, but police spokespeople were not immediately available to comment.

When contacted by email for the response, Salem Police Department Sgt. Jonathan Hardy responded, saying: “We are working to get what information we can out. Be patient, please.
