Eric Bourland, 41, and Christy Bocanegra, 45, both of Hesperia were arrested Wednesday for allegedly shooting at the car with the women inside while on a motorcycle.

On July 8 around 4 p.m., the two women drove themselves in their white Volkswagen Jetta to the Palmdale Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Hospital staff notified the California Highway Patrol after hearing from the women they were shot on the freeway.

Several leads were developed in the CHP investigation which led to the two suspects arrested and the seizure of the motorcycle used during the shooting.
