Southeast Michigan shootings claim 1st injury

Oct 29th, 2012 - State News

FOWLERVILLE, Mich. (AP) — Police in a wide stretch of southeastern Michigan are looking for a man suspected in at least 24 shooting attacks, the latest of which sent a male driver from West Michigan to the hospital with a leg wound.

The shooting on Interstate 96 in Fowlerville is the first that resulted in an injury. Authorities have released a sketch of a suspect but report no arrests or fresh leads Sunday.

Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte says the wounded man, Scott Arnold of Delton, was taken to the hospital Saturday afternoon after being hit in the left hip by a bullet that came through the driver's-side door.

Bezotte says that shots were fired earlier into another car, but its two occupants weren't injured.

Arnold was headed to the World Series game Saturday when he was shot at along I-96 near Fowlerville.
