A North Bend couple faced a harrowing experience when they became victims of a road rage shooting on I-405 near Renton, Washington, while driving home from Sea-Tac Airport. The shooter, described as a white male in a black hoodie driving a light-colored Ford Crown Victoria, reportedly fired four to five shots at their SUV, striking the window and causing chaos. The couple, who chose to remain anonymous for safety reasons, recounted the moment they heard gunfire, comparing it to a car backfiring. They emphasized the importance of maintaining composure during the surreal ordeal. After the shooting, they quickly exited the freeway to ensure their safety, feeling fortunate to escape unharmed.

Speculating that the incident stemmed from road rage due to a perceived slow merge, the couple is now urging the Washington State Patrol for assistance in identifying the shooter. Their experience highlights the increasing dangers of road rage incidents on highways. As investigations continue, they hope for swift justice in this alarming case.
