Officers Find No Outside Links to Shooting Cases
Investigators in Franklin County trying to find out who is responsible for 11 highway shootings have found no link between the shootings and similar incidents elsewhere.
The first shooting, on a stretch of Interstate 270 circling Columbus, took place in May, but most have been in the last two months. Authorities did not connect the cases until a woman was killed Tuesday; she was the only person hit in the shootings.
The sheriff’s office has contacted law enforcement elsewhere to compare cases, but no matches have been found.
Franklin County authorities have definitively linked only two of the 11 shootings along I-270.
