RICHMOND, Calif. — Police say they’ve arrested a man suspected of gunning down two people at a San Francisco Bay-area toll bridge. California Highway Patrol officers arrested 46-year-old Nathaniel Burris at about 3:15 a.m. Wednesday in Placer County, about 120 miles northeast of the shooting. Authorities say he was sleeping in an airport shuttle van, but drove off after CHP officers approached and surrendered after a chase. He’s suspected of being the driver who opened fire with a shotgun Tuesday, killing a toll booth collector and someone in a truck nearby. The toll booth collector was Burris’ girlfriend, 51-year-old Deborah Ross. The other victim was 58-year-old Ersie Everett. Authorities say they don’t know the nature of the relationship between the victims. ______ In photo: In this undated photo provided by Richmond Police Department, Nathan Burris is seen.
