An engaged couple found themselves in the middle of a gun battle on a Bay Area freeway, and they're finally able to talk publicly about it: 'We literally dodged a bullet.'
SAN FRANCISCO -- An engaged couple found themselves in the middle of a gun battle on a Bay Area freeway, and they're finally able to talk publicly about it.Leaving work in San Leandro and headed eastbound on Interstate 580, Garrett Mason and fiancée Tina Do found themselves in the middle of a shootout as a vehicle cut them off as another tailed them.
A bullet came through the front windshield and exited through the rear window, shattering glass. A dashboard camera captured the encounter. "Maybe within 15 seconds of getting on the freeway, the first vehicle shot back at the second vehicle lined up on the freeway," Mason said. "He heard a few rounds at that point and when it hit the front windshield, I thought it was a rock," Do said."I didn't know it was a bullet at all. I was literally feeling my body making sure nothing else was hurt. We had minor scratches.""Really, the only rare part of the scenario is the bullet went right past her face," Mason said.
They processed what happened for two weeks. Then, they posted about it on Instagram - which blew up overnight."I grew up in the South Bay so it's like my family is all here, and hearing that story about how on 880 not that long ago about a 2-year-old boy. Now that it's like personally hit me and you don't want it to affect anyone else. It's really disappointing it's happening in our hometown," Do said through her tears.
