10/29/12 - Police are investigating reports that the freeway gunman thought to be involved in 24 shooting incidents that stretch along the I-96 corridor from Wixom to Perry might have struck again this morning. An incident was reported involving a female motorist traveling southbound on US-23 just north of the I-96 interchange, who said her windshield was struck by something after she heard a loud boom. She is not thought to have suffered an injury, but police have yet to confirm it was a bullet that hit the vehicle. However, police did pull over a dark-colored car, which looked to be a Cavalier, along southbound US-23 near I-96 and handcuffed the driver. They then searched the vehicle with canine units. (pictured) Canine units could also be seen in a wooded area near the interchange. Meanwhile, Brighton Area Schools had been in a state of lockdown, but Superintendent Greg Gray tells WHMI that they were told by law enforcement officials said there was no longer a credible threat and they lifted the order at 11:30am. Howell Schools were also briefly on lockdown, but lifted it after talking with police and determining there was no threat to their facilities. On Saturday, a Delton man was shot in the buttocks while driving eastbound I-96 near Fowlerville. Stay tuned to WHMI, 93.5 FM for details as they become available.
