Another article on Blankenship. Wonder if he and a few buddies started out on a killing spree...perhaps a competition? At least one on the east coast and at least one on the west. I'm gonna see what else I can dig up re similar shootings in the area....or in Alabama. Someone somewhere on FR mentioned some search in AL.

Fort Lewis Soldier Allegedly Fires At Drivers
22-Year-Old Charged
CENTRALIA, Wash. -- A Fort Lewis soldier charged in a Sunday highway shooting near Centralia has been linked to two other weekend shootings in Lacey, Wash.
Police say Jeremiah Blankenship, 22, is responsible for shooting at 20-year-old Kathryn Morrisette.
She was driving through an intersection Saturday when her truck was hit (pictured). Morrisette ducked forward but was still hit by shrapnel.
A couple who drove through the same intersection about a half-hour before found gunfire holes in their car.
Police caught up to Blankenship after he allegedly drove alongside another car Sunday and fired a 20-gauge shotgun to flatten a front tire on Interstate 5 near Centralia. The driver was uninjured in the shooting.
State troopers arrested Blankenship and charged him with first-degree assault with a firearm and with driving under the influence. Bail was set at $1 million dollars in Lewis County.
