Highway shooter along I-10 in Phoenix

[dishdude]

12 vehicles in the past 10 days have been fired upon while traveling along the busiest highway in the Phoenix area. Now they are saying there might be multiple (copycat?) shooters. 2 more cars hit this morning.

Don't they have cameras there?

We had the same idiocy in the Kansas City area last year. Caught and jailed within a couple of weeks. No idea as to motive.

We had this a few years back along I-96. I can't remember if the guy was caught, or just stopped doing it.

We.ve had this in the Netherlands a few years ago. turned out to be gravel being projected by the wheels of other cars and trucks, nobody was shooting though several cars had broken windows

If they were smart they would quit now. Inevitably, they continue doing it and law enforcement/FBI can hone in on the pattern and send resources into the area to find the shooter.

I drive the I-10 downtown there everyday. Sure does make you look around a lot more!

They haven't released if he is shooting from a moving vehicle or if he's up on the side of the freeways and shooting from there. I think he's got hiding spots where he shoots from.

They have over 200 cameras that just monitor traffic, they don't record. 24/7 recording on 200 cameras would take a lot of work to make them record. Not an overnight thing.

I did see they set up a camera on the I-10 today that's on a big tripod. Was interesting looking.

A couple years ago here we had maybe 5 cars and trucks that got their side windows shattered while driving along I-390. I don't know if they ever figured out whether it was a shooter or debris kicked up by tires.

Problem is that these people are usually the most extreme of antisocial. Hard to get a tip on somebody that nobody knows.

 

[Mr Nice]

Yep. DC shooters were very anti social.

They still aren't saying if it's a BB gun or heavy ammo. I hope from all the non-injuries it's BB. They aren't giving the vigilantes much to look for, "for the sake of the investigation."

One of them made a decent sized hole in a semi-truck trailer.

Another made a decent sized hole in the door frame of a semi-truck.

We had a serial rock-tosser on I-35 a while back. Usually early morning before daylight, would drop a good sized rock from an overpass on traffic below. There are a lot of dumb***es out there.
