Saturday's shooting unfolded at 4:45 p.m. over a short stretch of U.S. 26 where lanes from Interstate 405, U.S. 26 and an on-ramp from downtown Portland combine near the east side of the Vista Ridge Tunnel, said police spokeswoman Officer Cathe Kent.
Kent said Kershaw was driving a 2006 Jeep Liberty when Todd Westby, 29, started to move his Volkswagen Jetta into Kershaw's lane -- possibly cutting him off -- and that apparently angered Kershaw.

Kent said Westby was in serious condition at Legacy Emanuel Hospital & Health Center, but awake and alert Monday morning.

Although Kent wouldn't be specific, Kent said at least one person inside the Jetta also had gang affiliations.Police, however, didn't believe the shooting was motivated by gang tensions.
"When it all came out in the end, the motive was just road rage," Kent said.
