Albuquerque police say a 4-year-old has been shot in a road-rage incident on the city's west side.

Police spokeswoman Celina Espinoza confirmed the child was transported to an area hospital. She says police are searching for a suspect.

The victim's condition was not immediately known.

1. Our national mental illness has several symptoms, one of them is gun ownership

9. You're saying that I, as a firearm owner, am mentally ill? eom.

19. Believe me, you're not alone in your view. One day the tide will turn toward peace,

away from the hatred and fear driving these clowns.

It may take generations but it's going to happen.

4-year-old 'critical' after road rage shooting

Shooting closes westbound I-40 at Coors
UPDATED 4:58 PM MDT Oct 20, 2015

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —A 4-year-old girl is in critical condition after she was shot during a road rage incident Tuesday afternoon on Interstate 40.

A father, mother and child were in the car, but only the child was injured. It’s unclear how many shots were fired.

An off-duty Bernalillo County deputy pulled over to help shortly after the shooting. At first he thought the child had fallen out of the car, but then he learned she'd been shot.

Albuquerque police are still searching for a suspect or suspects, but said they are investigating a suspect vehicle.

Police do not believe the family knew the shooter. They’re calling it a road rage case.

5. I was just caught in the traffic jam from this. nt

[solara]

13. Also caught in the traffic jam

Me too. It took me an hour and a half to make my usual 15 minute drive from work. At the time I couldn't imagine what had happened to have caused such a massive traffic jam… and not just on the freeway, but on major city streets of the downtown area near the freeway.

I am horrified and disgusted at the gunslinger mentality that is emerging in this country.

[Judi Lynn]

18. This situation is the only outcome from the move to arm so many immature, self-centered people.

No doubt you were shocked and sickened when you learned the reason for the traffic problem.

[solara]

20. More than shocked and sickened..

And the worst thing is realizing that this kind of violence happens more and more every day, throughout our nation. I weep for my country

[Judi Lynn]

17. That's something no one would expect to encounter. Very sad day. n/t

6. The founding fathers would not have tolerated this from the British!

7. This would not have happened if the four year old had herself been armed
