Drivers heading toward mountain passes are urged to prepare for slick conditions. Officials are also reminding residents to secure loose outdoor items and plan for slower commutes during periods of heavier weather.

Portion of 215 Beltway Closed After Shooting Report

A stretch of the Northern 215 Beltway was temporarily shut down Sunday evening after police responded to reports of a shooting on the freeway. Authorities say a man contacted dispatch to report gunfire during a roadway incident.

No major injuries have been publicly confirmed, but the closure caused significant traffic delays as investigators worked the scene. Police continue to review evidence and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
