Parts of the 405 Freeway remains shut down after a possible shooting in Van Nuys.

LOS ANGELES - Two people have been arrested in connection with a robbery that led to a car-to-car shooting on the 405 Freeway in Van Nuys Monday, snarling traffic for hours.

It happened just after 3 p.m. on northbound I-405 north of Victory Boulevard.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the victim was robbed on city streets and when the two suspects got into a getaway car, he decided to chase them. That pursuit led to the freeway where both cars collided with each other, CHP said.

That's when one of the suspects fired a shot at the victim, who was able to drive to a local hospital for treatment of a non-life threatening gunshot wound.
