CRIME CHASER DODGES BULLET, SNARLS TRAFFIC

A would-be crime stopper escaped a shooting without injury, but the incident shut down part of Hwy 178 in northeast Bakersfield for more than two hours. Police say the victim saw three men jumping a fence at Fairfax Road and Highland Knolls just before 7:00 last night [sun], and was following their car when a shot was fired into his windshield near Morning Drive. No one was hurt but the suspects got away.
