Police presence will be increased today and tomorrow along the I-64 corridor where at least two suspects fired randomly at cars from the side of the road and from an overpass early this morning.
Two drivers sustained very minor injuries.
Flaherty cautioned motorists on I-64 to be watchful. "I think everybody needs to be observant,'' said Flaherty. "We all need to be cautious...I think they (the shooters) could still be in the area.’’
State Police Superintendent Steven Flaherty said he has a "strategy'' to deal with the potential of more shootings in addition to bolstering police numbers, but he declined to reveal it.
Police believe more than one person was involved in the shootings based on what witnesses saw at the site of one shooting, Flaherty said. They have no suspects, however.
Police closed about 20 miles of the interstate from Charlottesville to near Waynesboro in Augusta County for six hours Thursday morning after receiving multiple reports of gunshots being fired starting at around midnight. Police are still uncertain how many shots were fired or the duration of the shooting. “We just don’t have a good feel for how long it went on,’’ said Flaherty.
