Narrative:

On short final (approximately 800 ft AGL) to runway 16L someone aimed a laser light at the aircraft from what appeared to be a vehicle on a road to the left (east) of the runway centerline. The laser was green in color and the event lasted for only a few seconds. I reported the event to tower and several other aircraft also reported being illuminated. We landed without incident and continued to our gate.
