At least 15 vehicles were shot on two interstates in Florida.
Authorities started to receive reports of gunfire hitting cars traveling eastbound on I-4 and northbound on I-95 on Wednesday evening. The damage appeared to be from a BB or pellet gun, and the shots caused some of the windows of the cars to shatter.
Investigators originally said 13 cars were shot but increased that number to 15 as more people came forward to report damage. The Florida Highway Patrol said Thursday that it had located a silver SUV that may be linked to the shootings.
The shootings occurred over a stretch of the state from Deltona to St. Augustine. There have been no reported injuries from the gunfire.
Atlanta resident John James was traveling through Volusia County when the car he was traveling in was shot. He told WFTV that the gunfire was strong enough to break two windows.
“It went through one window and out the other,” James said. “It was close to me because I was right near the back windows. I thank God that I’m alive, that it didn’t strike any one of us.”
Authorities are working to interview witnesses, and an investigation is ongoing.
