    Freeway shooter
    KRLO says (27 Oct '12)

    He's at it again, 2 cars shot at today, this time he hit someone. A 46 year old on his way from GR to the Tigers game, got hit and now is in the hospital. I hope they really step up patrol, maybe get the feds involved and stop him before he murders someone. Anyone traveling 96, or in the Brighton, Wixom, and western Oakland county, be careful. The guy shot will be OK.

I agree...I just want this guy stopped. My kid is in that area everyday and all his friends drive that way, too. It scares the crap out of me.

K RSMS. But you know what i am pretty mild truthfully. Somebody just shooting ppl for nothing is crazy imo. What did any random person do to this idiot. Too bad the thugs don't get him/her first honestly. Just about any thug is strapped and most know how to use their guns. They ought to do everyone else a favor while they are out slinging dope. I mean it will only be a long trial where we pay for it all and to house this idiot for ten or twenty years then release them so they can pick up where they left off, hurting ppl that didn't do a damn thing to them....NOW i dare you to tell me i am wrong?

This idiot must have big balls. Doesn't most of Detroit pack their own heat? If not i would be thinking about it. Idiot wouldn't be shooting much if he got shot back @ now would he? Trust me if i lived there and saw the idiot i would turn him if i didn't shoot him first, and the reward would be nice too!

Yeah now a rock is scaring everyone. Don't blame that lady one bit. My friend in Brighton said she saw 13 police cars on 96 pulling over cars that match the description. The State Police in Brighton said they are receiving tons of tips after Saturdays shooting.

The reports of an arrest are false. There is a $102,000 reward for information leading to the shooter's arrest. I hope this big reward will spur someone to come forward with the right information so they can catch this guy. According to the Observer and Eccentric Newspapers, the FBI and the Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol, Firearms, and Explosives are both offering $50,000, and Crime Stoppers is offering $2,000.

If it's the right person in custody let's pray there's no copycats in the days, weeks months and years ahead

I just heard. That is right where I grew up, I lived about 1/4 mile north of where 96 meets 23. I hope Brighton Schools are shut down, or on lockdown.

News reports coming in that there may have been another shooting around 9 this morning at US 23 and I-96. Helicopters have been flying over my house, heading that way. I hope they can get this guy TODAY!

That's some bad shit. I am traveling toward Detroit next weekend. Now I will be nervous......

My son is in that area everyday. Scares the crap out of me-I hope the feds get this loon!

I hope they catch them and pray for those of you who find yourself traveling this path. Very common in rural areas. Happened to myself on the way to a Big Brother Big Sister event for the local Sheriff. Hit the side of my truck just next to my sleeping little brother's head...I saw the kid drop to his knees, take aim, and shoot from just beyond a canal running parallel to the street I was traveling. He was never caught. Responsible gun ownership is imperative. People, these days, lack respect!
Be safe. LOVE CARE & RESPECT (in all things)

My husband drives between plants in Brighton & Wixom almost everyday, that's scary. I hope they catch the guy soon.

Whew, stay safe folks.

This guy is shooting either from a parked car or from his car while moving. Scary, I grew up there, my family and a lot of high school friends still live in the area. Very tense for people. I just hope it isn't a copycat and they have to look for more than one. I remember the DC sniper, he shot from a vehicle he rigged up didn't he, mostly killed people in parking lots and waiting for the bus and such. There have been 21 cars shot at, the one guy hit, and one guy was shot at taking out his garbage.

Wow! For real? There was a guy and his son who was shooting at random people a good couple years back around the DC area that made headlines 'DC sniper'.. sounds kinda like the same type of thing. People are nuts : (
