“There were two shooters from the suspect vehicle,” Wessling said. “We have recovered some rounds that we’ll send to the lab to do some identification.”
Wessling told News Center 7 that police have been working on this case 24/7 since it happened and don’t believe it was a random event.
As reported on News Center 7 at 5:00, he confirmed detectives have spoken with the people they believe were the targets.
The chief said they are working on video from the interstate and other sources. They believe the gunmen and their target were driving over 80 mph.
“This was an intended incident; it just happened to occur on the highway,” Wessling said. “There is nothing showing this was a road rage incident.”
Police are working closely with the Ohio State Highway Patrol on the investigation.
