Sniper Targeting Phoenix Freeways

[TheFavoriteDaughter]

I'm on my phone, so I can't paste the story. I'm seriously freaked out. This is, like, my worst nightmare come true. There have been 11 incidents so far.

I just saw a story about this on NBC Evening News. It is very scary indeed. Stay safe, TFD.

One of the shootings was in my area. Not only that, buy it was right by my husband's work and is the freeway he takes.

[Bewitchingstorm]

Wow!! Hopefully they figure out what idiot(s) is doing this soon.

This sounds terrifying .... the randomness of it, the possibility of more than one shooter .... frightening.

"Whoever thinks my son is the I-10 shooter is a moron," his father, Leslie Merritt Sr., told the station.

Here's what the shooter said in court

All I have to say is I'm the wrong guy. I tried telling the detectives that. My gun's been in the pawn shop the last two months. I haven't even had access to a weapon," he said as he stood handcuffed in a black-and-white striped jail uniform.

If it turns out the "shooters' guns were in the pawn shop at the time- Mo-Money pawn has some explaining to do.
