Chaos on I-80
The California Highway Patrol reported that the suspect in the Interstate 80 shootout, who was believed to have died from self-inflicted injuries Friday night, is still alive in critical condition at the hospital.
Earlier, CHP told ABC7 News that the suspect had died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. However, they claim that emergency teams at the hospital were able to revive him.
Two left lanes of I-80 near Fairfield have been reopened.
The three left lanes still remain closed as officers continue to investigate.
There still appears to be significant congestion.
Following a multi-hour standoff on I-80 near Fairfield following a pursuit spanning several Bay Area counties, the shooting suspect died from suicide, the California Highway Patrol said Friday afternoon.
CHP says the incident began around 11 a.m. when the suspect, driving a silver Toyota sedan, shot at someone along Highway 101 in Windsor.
The driver's rear window was shattered, but no one was injured.
The pursuit began after CHP officers found the armed, wanted driver parked at a Rohnert Park shopping center.
The pursuit traversed Sonoma, Marin, Contra Costa, and Solano counties before reaching the Fairfield area.
Both directions of I-80 were closed near the Cordelia junction for hours during the standoff. All westbound lanes have since been reopened.
