TRENTON, N.J. -- Authorities were investigating reports of a shooting incident Wednesday evening involving a car and a tractor-trailer on the George Washington Bridge, police and turnpike spokesmen said.

A witness reported that shots were fired at the truck at about 6 p.m. as the vehicles traveled westbound on the upper span of the bridge, according to Pasquale DiFulco, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the bridge. No one was injured, authorities said.

According to turnpike spokesman Joseph Orlando, authorities held up traffic on the southbound inner roadway near Interchange 12 in Carteret as they searched for the car believed to have been involved in the shooting. The roadway was restored to normal traffic flow at about 6:30 p.m., Orlando said.

No arrests had been made and no one was in custody Wednesday evening, according to DiFulco.

How long before some idiot on this thread tries to link this to "terrorism."

Nice to see those fascist gun laws in New York and New Jersey are working.

I can't understand how they shut down a major traffic artery during rush hour between NY, NJ and Newark Airport access and it didn't make the news.
