weimer: I thought it was May! And I didn't get any of my "Happy Shootin' at Strangers!" cards out. Damn.
And I feel we're way behind the curve, since Florida now has made it a year-round observance....

Lear,
I think that watching the news puts a twist on stories that make it appear that isolated random events are widespread. I regularly drive the same part of the 55 Fwy where one of the shootings occured and I only give it a passing thought. You have a greater chance of getting hurt in a traffic accident in the way to the grocery store in your hometown. Don't be put off by scary stories, save your angst for a California sig-alert!

L.A. freeways are very dangerous. Much more so than the skies if you're on the road five times a day like most Angelenos. But you're a zillion times more likely to get injured in a traffic accident than in a shooting.

Thanks for all of the insight. I guess nobody wants to discuss what actually happened out there.
I realize to you I should already know the details, but seriously I couldn't find anything specific online about the news clip I had heard.
It isn't going to stop me from travelling there, just wanted to know what the situation was.
Regardless, I'm sorry I brought up the question in the first place. I've learned my lesson...

Lear, from the Times:
"Police from multiple agencies say the shootings appear to be unconnected, without a clear motive. Witnesses are sparse. Clues are limited."
If you are looking for info on the shootings, this is from yesterday's Times:
