Someone opened fire late Thursday on a California Highway Patrol cruiser in San Jose, but the two officers conducting a traffic stop weren’t injured, police said Friday.

The shooting happened on northbound Highway 101 near Tully Road about 11:30 p.m. Two officers had stopped a vehicle “when shots were fired in their direction,” said Officer Albert Morales, a San Jose police spokesman.

The shots missed the officers, but one round hit the CHP car, Morales said.

The freeway was shut down for a time as police investigated. No arrests have been made.
