Three Jackasses at large

Three shootings on Highway 101 in a little more than 48 hours, including one in San Jose that wounded a man Wednesday, are unrelated, the California Highway Patrol said. The string of shootings, in which one man was killed and two wounded, is "quite unusual," CHP Sgt. Les Bishop said.... The CHP came to that conclusion after reviewing information from the shootings late Sunday in Burlingame, Monday in San Francisco and early Wednesday in San Jose. Bishop did not explain how the CHP had reached that determination, saying he did not want to reveal details while police in Burlingame and San Jose are still investigating the shootings in those cities.... The victim, a 20-year-old man, had just gotten off work in Sunnyvale and was driving south when an older model, silver luxury sedan with custom rims pulled alongside him, police said.... An altercation between the two drivers preceded the shooting, San Jose police Sgt. Nick Muyo said, but he declined to give details. The first freeway shooting happened late Sunday, when 25-year-old Londell Wilson of San Mateo was killed while driving north on Highway 101 in Burlingame.... Those cars were a dark turquoise station wagon, a white four-door sedan and a red or burgundy four-door sedan similar to a late 1960s Chevrolet Chevelle or Nova, Burlingame police Sgt. Jim Ford said.... The other shooting happened about 10:30 a.m. Monday, when the driver of a BMW heading south near the Cesar Chavez Street off-ramp in San Francisco was shot in the hip by the driver of a green Dodge Caravan, CHP spokesman Shawn Chase said.
