| Virginia State Police are looking for a suspect in a series of shootings at vehicles along Interstate 64 in Virginia, a police spokesman told ABC News. Sgt. Dave Cooper said that five vehicles were hit by gunfire in three locations along I-64 in Virginia early this morning. According to police, two people sustained non-life threatening injuries and were treated at area hospitals. Police said it was not clear if the injuries were caused directly by the gunfire, or from broken glass and fragments caused by the shots. The first reports of gunfire came in at 12:10 a.m. near mile marker 114 on the on-ramp to westbound I-64. State police closed the intestate to traffic minutes later, Cooper said. Three vehicles were reported to have been struck by gunfire near the overpass at mile marker 106. A fifth unoccupied Virginia Department of Transportation vehicle was also struck. That vehicle was parked near the Yancey Mill exit of I-64. Police say they are not releasing the type gun believed to have been used, but shell casings recovered at the scenes indicate that all five shootings might be connected. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is also involved in the investigation and is expected to examine the shell casings, according to a law enforcement official. |

| #1 USA Today on line says they have a suspect. Got into a shootout with the VA SP. And none of that PC-RAB crap either. |
