COLUMBUS, Ohio -- State routes 38 and 41 in Fayette County are closed over Interstate 71 as the serial shooting task force investigates multiple shootings, NewsChannel 4 reported.

Two vehicles were shot along Interstate 71 Sunday morning, and authorities searched for a dark sports car that may have been connected, law enforcement officials said.

It wasn't immediately clear whether the shootings were related to a string of 21 linked sniper shootings along highways in the Columbus area, including the death of a passenger in November.

No injuries were reported in the shootings near a mall about 40 miles southwest of Columbus about 11:30 a.m., said Jerri Redfern, a State Highway Patrol dispatcher in the Lebanon post.

Redfern said the shootings are reported to have come from an overpass and that bullets struck the vehicles.

Patrol spokesman Lt. Rick Fambro said that troopers were on the scene, and that any evidence collected would be turned over to a task force investigating the highway shootings.
