RIVERSIDE—An Anaheim man accused of using a BB gun to blow out the windows on a Tesla in Norco—and possibly targeting other vehicles in a weeks-long series of similar attacks on Southern California freeways—was scheduled to be arraigned on June 2 on three counts of attempted murder.

“Shooting at moving vehicles with a BB or pellet gun while traveling at high speed on our roads and freeways is incredibly dangerous,” Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin said. “Shooting out windows of cars could easily startle drivers in traffic and cause a major accident. We are all relieved that no one was seriously injured by these crimes.”
