Phoenix, ARIZONA — There has been 10 shootings in the past 11 days on Arizona’s highways, luckily no one has been killed.

A shooter or shooters have been using vehicles driving on Interstate 10 in Phoenix for target practice, officials say, and at least 10 cars have been shot since Wednesday.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety is trying to determine if the shootings are connected.

Investigators believe the shooter or shooters took multiple shots at each vehicle. Three out of the four shots went through the windshield or passenger window of the cars, according to DPS. The last shot impacted the front headlight of a commercial truck. All witnesses say they heard a loud noise or a pop after the shots had been fired.

Public Safety Colonel Milstead said there appears to be no connection between the targeted vehicles, except that they were driving on the same freeway.

A $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest, Arizona Director of Frank Milstead told reporters, hours after the passenger window of a car was shattered.

Police have only been able to determine that bullets were used in two of the attacks in late August. It remains unclear whether other projectiles were employed in the other seven incidents, Graves said.
