A motorist was killed in a drive-by shooting on the George Washington Bridge in Manhattan Tuesday night, according to cops and sources.

The driver was found shot in the head on the westbound upper level of the crossing around 7 p.m. after officers responded to reports of a crash, the Port Authority Police Department and sources said.

He was rushed to Englewood Hospital in New Jersey and pronounced dead, according to law enforcement sources.

The suspect fled and remained on the loose late Tuesday.

Investigators are pouring over security camera footage for clues into the slaying.

Nobody else was injured in the shooting, which closed the westbound upper level of the bridge, Port Authority said.

When traveling across the most heavily transited bridge in the world is driving in the 'hood', it's a good thing New York City has all those unconstitutional gun laws.

Was it two suspects on a mottorbike?

"Investigators are pouring over security camera footage..."

"Larry & David, what the heck is the matter with you two? Did you flunk fourth grade English? Do I need to assign Jimmy, Lois and Clark to EVERY story, you clowns?"

I hate, hate, hate going over the GW Bridge.

Especially on a Harley.

Alone.

Been There, done that.

Though, I’ve never been shot at in the process.

Was it two suspects on a motorbike?

That would at least show intent. This appears random.

[Blennos]

Investigators are pouring over security camera...

Yes, that struck me too. Grammar seems be a dying skill these days.

They probably work in a multi-story building, upstairs from a jewlery store.

The suspect fled and remained on the loose.

Must have removed all the evil cameras huh.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Larry and David are probably mild mannered, too.

If the suspect “remains in the wind”, the cops should be up in a helicopter looking for him. He can’t stay up there forever.

More likely the authorities are scrubbing the perp's online presence because it doesn't fit the narrative.

The perp could be an illegal alien invader from a country the authorities want to pretend is not hostile to the Constitution.

[Libloather]

Someone really should make a movie about all this.

[Bonemaker]

It’s just a feature of democrat cities.

[Verginius Rufus]

Let’s hope they didn’t pour something sticky, like honey or molasses.

[Fai Mao]

I only had to cross that bridge once. It was enough.

There are enough cameras up there to make a major motion picture, he won’t be gone for long.
