Though expressway shootings in the Chicago area continue to drop from the high numbers two years ago, when they do happen they are increasingly being sparked by incidents of road rage, according to the Illinois State Police.
In 2022, road rage was reported in about 40% of the 140 Chicago-area expressway shootings investigated by Illinois State Police, the agency said in a statement.
That is a sharp increase from the 12% of road rage reported in 2021 shootings, which totaled 264 that year, state police said. Road rage has been reported in at least nine of the 22 expressway shootings that have been reported in the area so far this year, state police said. Thirty-two shootings were reported on Chicago-area expressways at the same point last year.
