Arizona authorities say nine vehicles possibly hit by gunfire along stretch of Interstate 10(video)
The first shooting took place on Aug. 29, when gunfire shattered the window of an SUV.
Arizona's state police said Tuesday that nine different vehicles have been hit by gunfire or other projectiles while traveling along an eight-mile stretch of Interstate 10 in Phoenix over the past ten days.
None of the incidents have resulted in fatalities, but Arizona Department of Public Safety Director Col. Frank Milstead warned, "It’s just a matter of time, if this continues, that we have tragedy on our roadways."
Milstead said investigators had not confirmed that all of the incidents were shootings. At a news conference Tuesday, he used the word "projectiles" instead of "bullets." The colonel also declined to say whether the events were the work of a single person, saying that some may have been the work of copycats.
