At least 7 cars hit and 6 people injured in random gunfire on Interstate 5 near Seattle
Associated PressSEATTLE — At least seven vehicles traveling along Interstate 5 just south of Seattle were hit by gunfire overnight, leaving at least six people injured before a suspect was taken into custody, officials said Tuesday. The latest gunfire started at 8:26 p.m. Monday on northbound Interstate 5, said Chris Loftis, a state patrol spokesperson. About 15 minutes later, another car was hit farther north on I-5 and the passenger was injured by broken glass, Loftis said. “Having seven perpetrated by one individual over a short period of time only causes a lessening of people’s trust in our transportation system, which they should feel safe in, in using.” Soon after the final shooting, an officer saw a white Volvo pull into an apartment complex in Fircrest, a town about 37 miles south of Seattle.
