Warriors fans killed in shooting after playoff game
| Oakland, Calif.
A California freeway was shutdown until early Friday morning after a shooting left two Golden State Warriors fans dead.
The shooting occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m. Thursday on northbound Interstate Highway 880. The California Highway Patrol had been diverting traffic after closing the northbound lanes for several hours.
Authorities say a gunman opened fire on a two men driving home on the freeway in downtown Oakland after watching the Golden State Warriors playoff game. (The San Antonio Spurs held off a furious final rally to beat the Golden State Warriors 94-82 in Game 6 on Thursday night and advance to the Western Conference finals.)
Both victims were wearing Warriors gear and had attended the playoff game against the Spurs, Oakland police Officer Johnna Watson . Authorities have not determined a motive, but believe the shooting wasn't random, said California Highway Patrol officer Sam Morgan.
"It appears that this definitely was a targeted event from the way the rounds went into the vehicle," Morgan said. No shots were fired from the Porsche, he聽said.
The one of the men was hit by a van after he was ejected from the white 2010 Porsche Panamera when the car hit the center divider.
No arrests have been made and the cause of the shooting is under investigation. Both deaths have been deemed homicides.
