CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Gunfire struck several vehicles along an 11-mile stretch of Interstate 64 early Thursday, injuring two people and forcing police to shut down a portion of the road for nearly six hours.
The highway reopened around dawn, but Col. Steven Flaherty told reporters at a news conference that the shooter or shooters could still be in the area. Investigators were looking for suspects, but did not tell motorists to avoid the interstate.
“We’re certainly going to put additional resources out,” Flaherty said.
The shootings began around midnight, when police received an emergency call reporting gunfire. Authorities shut down a 20-mile stretch between Charlottesville and Waynesboro as they investigated the shootings, which were reported at on on-ramp at the 114 mile marker at Ivy and an overpass in the Afton area.
