FOWLERVILLE, Mich. (AP) - Authorities are
linking the shooting of a motorist driving along Interstate 96 in
Livingston County to a string of shootings across southeastern Michigan.
Sheriff Bob Bezotte told
WWJ-AM the man was taken to the hospital Saturday afternoon after being
shot in the hip by a bullet that came through the driver's-side door.
Bezotte says shots were fired at another car earlier but its two
occupants weren't injured.
Shots have been fired on at
least 24 cars since Oct. 16. Most of the shootings involved cars near
I-96. No injuries were reported before Saturday, the first incident
since Oct. 18.
WHMI-FM reports multiple police agencies are searching for the suspect.
Based on reports, authorities said the gunman appears to be a man in his 30s.
