Two men shot on Ohio turnpike

CLEVELAND, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Ohio state troopers questioned a man Wednesday in the shootings of two motorists on the westbound state turnpike near Milan.

Troopers couldn't say immediately whether the incident may have been random road rage unrelated to the shootings on I-270 near Columbus 120 miles to the south.

"We don't know the circumstances," Lt. Rick Fambro, a patrol spokesman, said. "We have investigators on the scene trying to determine that." Unlike the rash of freeway sniper shootings around Columbus, Tuesday night's bullets were fired from a passing car with Oregon license plates, the Toledo Blade reported.

No charges have been filed against a 20-year-old man who was detained, WOIO-TV in Cleveland said.

The driver of the car, 29-year-old Stephen McMullen of East Cleveland, was shot in the head and listed in critical condition at a Toledo hospital.

His passenger, identified as 20-year-old Darryle Webster of Detroit, was treated for a gunshot wound to the hand and released.
