Two shootings were reported on I-96 in Livingston County earlier Saturday, and police believe they are connected to 22 other shootings that occurred late last week, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte said just prior to noon, an 18-year-old driver reported his car had been shot near the Fowlerville Road exit. The shot went though the rear driver’s side window and passed through the other side of the car, the Press reported.
The Press also reported another driver thought his car had blown a tire less than a half hour later near the same exit. When the driver pulled over to check, Bezotte said, he noticed his buttocks were wet and realized he also had been hit by a bullet.
Police are urging anyone with information to come forward and call Crime Stoppers of Michigan at 800-773-2587 (800-SPEAK-UP).
