New video from Wednesday shows the shocking moments a naked woman with a gun ran down on the Bay Bridge and opened fire during Tuesday’s evening commute.
Commuters driving eastbound captured the chaos as the California Highway Patrol shut down all eastbound lanes coming off the Bay Bridge and the traffic was backed up for miles.
Cell phone video shows the woman walking across lanes of traffic, then pointing a gun and firing at several cars as they pass by.
But the incident started earlier in the middle of the Bay Bridge, just before 5 p.m. Tuesday. CHP received reports of a woman driving erratically on the bridge.
Investigators said the woman got out of her car twice in the middle of traffic. Once armed with a knife. Then, she got back into her car and continued her drive towards Oakland.
When the woman stopped and got out again near the toll plaza, this time she was naked and armed with a pistol and started shooting in the air and at cars, hitting multiple vehicles.
“It became pretty clear immediately she was experiencing some sort of mental health crisis,” said CHP officer Andrew Barclay.
