Here in Ohio, around the southwest side of Columbus, there is a Nut-Case that is shooting at cars on I-270 and now has moved to I-71. In November "the shooter" shot at a car and killed a woman passenger riding in the car.
This past weekend "the shooter" shot at two more vehicles, but people are now watching and spotted a dark colored car on a over-pass and called the Highway Patrol.
They just said on the news that the bullets retrieved from the last two cars matches the markings from past bullets!! This idiot has even shot at a school just off the Interstate!!!
They feel that this Idiot will be caught because "the shooter" is now coming out in broad daylight and taking aim.

It you are planning on traveling through the Columbus Ohio area, PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE be very alert and careful. The primary area is on I-270, south of I-70 and west of I-71. But the last two shooting this past weekend WHERE ON I-71.

My cousin lives in that area, she says she's terrified every time her hubby leaves for work. Scary stuff- I hope they get this guy QUICK!

We have a driver on our truck. He was in that area yesterday and I tried to get him to go a different route. I'll be nervous until we here from today. We lived in the Dallas, TX area for many years. I taught my daughter to never look at the people in the cars next to us as you never know when it will tick them off and they would start shooting or ram your vehicle. We now live in a small town of 14,000 and I still won't look at people.

They had a story on the News Tuesday evening about a truck driver from a trucking firm in Cleveland that found a bullet hole in the side of his cab. It went into the sleeper section of the cab and if someone would have been in there they would have been killed. They are running tests on the bullet now to see if it matches any from the Columbus area.
I guess he was on his way back on a Cleveland to Nashville run when this happened around early Sunday morning. They have a computer program that can track where the trucks are at at any given time, and they have been able to check the records and can place him in the Columbus area at a given time. They said that this will be able to help with the time and location of "the shooter".
I feel that this idiot is just trying to get caught. The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned.
