COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- The Ohio Department of Transportation Saturday temporarily closed sniper-plagued Interstate 270, a 20-mile stretch around Columbus.
By Saturday night the stretch of highway, on which the number of shootings rose to 14 this week, had been reopened, but only after an intense reexamination of some of the shooting scenes, CNN reported.
Chief Deputy Steve Martin of the Franklin County Sheriff's Department said no one was injured in the most recent shootings, but investigators linked them to 12 others in recent months, including one that left a 62-year-old woman dead.
Ballistics evidence conclusively linked five of the shootings. Martin said all 14 are considered linked because of their location and circumstances.
"Anybody that would go out on a freeway and shoot at moving vehicles going 65 mph, I don't consider that to be an accident," Martin said. "I think that's intentional, because the possibility of somebody getting hurt is real when you do that."
