SEYMOUR, Ind. - Sniper shootings of two vehicles along Interstate 65 in southern Indiana early Sunday left one person dead and another injured, state police said. ADVERTISEMENT

A sniper shot at a southbound vehicle about 12:20 a.m., killing one of its three occupants, police said. About the same time, occupants of a second southbound vehicle called police to report a passenger had been shot.

The victim was hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.

Authorities closed a 14-mile stretch of the interstate in the area, about 40 miles south of Indianapolis.

A preliminary investigation showed the sniper fired from either the roadway or an overpass, state police said in a news release.

Meanwhile, police also were investigating two other shootings along the interstate about 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis. Those shootings, which occurred about two hours after the first shooting, struck a semitrailer and a parked, unattended vehicle, state police at the Redkey post said. No one was hurt.

"At this time it is unknown whether the shootings in the Seymour and Redkey area are related," police said.

Shades of John Wable, the Pennsylvania turnpike "phantom killer" from the 1950's.

I'm surpised they haven't blamed it on "white racist skinhead bigots" yet (a la Malvo).
Of course this is Indiana, where we have a modicum of common sense-away from electing Evan Bayh.
Sigh

We need a Muslim trooper in charge looking for white racists in a white van. Get those orange stickers out again.

Are you thinking of the kid in Ohio - was it last year or the year before? Kind of vague to me now.
