Chula Vista Police announced one person was wounded in a possible road rage shooting involving two motorists near the entrance of the Otay Ranch Mall on Wednesday morning.
The shooting occurred at around 10 a.m. at the intersection of Olympic Parkway and Town Center Drive, causing a closure in Eastbound traffic from state Route 125, the Chula Vista Police Department tweeted shortly after the incident.

The shooter fled the scene and remains at large as of Wednesday afternoon. No description of the suspect is currently available.
