Cab driver shot in head in Salem
Photo illustration By Associated PressSALEM, Ore. (AP) - Police say a cab driver survived a gunshot wound to the head during a weekend robbery. Salem Police Lt. Dave Okada said the shooting occurred Saturday after the driver dropped off a passenger in northeast Salem. Okada would not say how much money was stolen, if any. No arrests have been made. The cab driver's name has not been released, but he's in his 50s and had been working with the Affordable Taxi Co. for about a month. He was treated and released from Salem Hospital. Okada could not recall the last time a cab driver was shot in Salem. But 10 years ago, 36-year-old Michelle Howard was found dead in her cab, killed by a single gunshot to the head. The author and economist had been on the job only two weeks before her death. (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) |
