In the first claim of responsibility in a string of highway shootings, a man called police four times to say he was the sniper. A task force investigating the 20 shootings at cars, school buses and homes is trying to determine whether the caller is the gunman, Franklin County sheriff’s Chief Deputy Steve Martin said. The caller engaged in back-and-forth conversation, Martin said, declining to give details. Police spokeswoman Sherry Mercurio said the man made four calls Monday in a span of two minutes. He may have been disconnected twice for unknown reasons. Mercurio said the caller claimed to have shot someone that day, but no new shootings have been recorded since Jan. 22.
