Authorities investigate freeway shooting in Phoenix suburb

PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities are investigating whether a drive-by shooting on a metro Phoenix freeway is related to a string of recent shootings or an isolated incident.

Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Raul Garcia said Saturday state troopers responded to reports of someone shooting at a vehicle on Loop 101 freeway in the northwest Phoenix suburb of Peoria.

Garcia says a male suspect in a tan pickup truck pulled up alongside another vehicle and allegedly fired multiple shots, shattering the other driver’s window and a rear passenger window.

No one was hurt and the pickup exited the freeway shortly after.

Investigators are asking for anyone who was in the area to contact them.

Phoenix residents have been rattled by a series of random vehicle shootings on Interstate 10 between Aug. 22 and Sept. 10 involving bullets or projectiles.

A Glendale man has been charged in four of the 11 shootings.

The investigation into the other incidents remains open.
