Road Rage Incident Involving a Blank-Firing Handgun

On October 1, 2026, at approximately 11:45 a.m., Culver City Police Officers responded to multiple citizen reports of a car-to-car shooting in the area of Jefferson Boulevard and Overland Avenue.

Culver City Police Officers and Detectives immediately conducted an area search and were able to locate both vehicles and the individuals involved.

The subsequent investigation determined that during the road rage incident, one of the involved parties discharged two rounds from a handgun designed to fire blank ammunition. No live rounds were fired, and no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.

The investigation remains ongoing.
