10/23/12 - A multi-jurisdictional task force continues to investigate a series of reported shootings targeting people, mostly motorists, across four counties that have now reached to 22 incidents. No one has been injured in the shootings, all of which occurred during a three-day period last week, but there have been close calls. Police say that the shootings, which occurred between last Tuesday and Thursday in Oakland, Ingham, Livingston and Shiawassee counties, are believed to be the work of one man firing a handgun as he drives. However, authorities say it is unclear whether the shooter is intentionally missing people. Three bullets, some fragments and a cartridge have been recovered and sent to the Michigan State Police crime labs for testing, with results expected by the end of the week. A sketch of the suspect (pictured here) was released on Sunday and police also are compiling a behavioral analysis of the shooter, who they believe lives in one of the four counties. The shooter is thought to be driving a dark car resembling either a late-model Oldsmobile Alero or Toyota Camry. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Michigan at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
