October 8, 2008

GLENDALE -- A connector road linking the Foothill and Glendale freeways is closed this morning after a motorcyclist was killed in a possible shooting, authorities said.

A group of motorcyclists were traveling along the connector road linking the eastbound Foothill (210) Freeway to the southbound Glendale (2) Freeway when shots rang out around 2 a.m. and one man went down, said Sgt. Tom Lorenz of the Glendale Police Department.

Firefighters and California Highway Patrol officers at the scene discovered the motorcycle in bushes alongside the road and its deceased rider nearby.

Investigators initially reported that the man had been shot, however, Glendale Police later said they were not sure if he suffered a gunshot wound.

"I still do not have any determination whether or not he is a victim of a shooting. There have been reports of shots fired. That doesn't necessarily mean he was hit because his bike did go down and he did go off the freeway," Lorenz said.

Officers are investigating the possibility that someone fired shots at the man, causing him to crash his motorcycle.

Lorenz said the victim is associated with the Mongols Motorcycle Club -- a motorcycle gang founded in Montebello in the 1970s.

"We don't know if, in fact, the gang affiliation has anything to do with the situation," Lorenz said.

Other members who were riding with the victim at the time of the shooting are cooperating with police.

The connector roads linking the 210 and 2 freeways were shut down, along with the Foothill Boulevard onramp to the southbound 2, causing traffic backlog during the morning commute.

The roads were expected to remain closed during the investigation.

The northbound 2 Freeway was closed at Mountain Street until 5:30 a.m., when the lanes were reopened, said CHP Officer Anthony Martin.

No arrests have been reported.
