SLAY LINKED TO
HIGHWAY SHOOTINGS

Associated Press

November 29, 2003 -- COLUMBUS, Ohio - The shooting of a woman on a freeway was linked yesterday to at least one of nine other reports of shots fired at vehicles along a five-mile stretch of the same highway.

Gail Knisley, 62, was killed Nov. 25 by a bullet which ripped into the car in which she was being driven to a doctor's appointment.

Authorities said for the first time yesterday the shooting was not an accident. Police won't use the term "sniper," but they say more of the shootings could be connected.

The first reported shooting on the southern section of Interstate 270 or in its immediate area was in May. The rest have been in the last seven weeks. The shots have been fired at different times of day, piercing trucks, cars, vans and pickups, shattering windows and flattening tires, and, last week, killing Knisley.

Authorities have released few details, saying only that tests on the bullets connected Knisley's shooting to one of the others, though they wouldn't identify which one.

Extra patrols have been assigned to the leg of the highway, also called Jack Nicklaus Highway after the golfing legend from suburban Dublin.
 
When I was a child, I had a morbid fear of this happening to us. We used to make frequent trips between Chattanooga and Nashville and from Texas to Nashville later on when I was older.

Those long stretches of I-40 in TN lined with trees used to scare the piss outa me. I guess maybe I was on to something. Hope they catch this guy, and yes, just one more whack job making our cause harder to hit home.
