Vigilantes Hunt Mystery Highway Shooter [View all]

A vigilante group is determined to hunt down the sniper terrorizing Arizona’s highways—whether the cops like it or not.

There’s a serial sniper with a wild trigger finger on the loose in Phoenix. The attacker has been randomly shooting at drivers since August, firing bullets and projectiles at cars, trucks, and busses zipping by on major Arizona highways.

So far, the only injury involved a 13-year-old girl, whose ear was sliced two weeks ago by glass shards after a bullet struck the windshield of the SUV she’d been riding in.

But hysteria surrounding the rogue shooter reached a fever pitch this week with news of an 11th shooting—channeling jitters from over a decade ago when the Beltway Snipers, made up of a deadly father-son duo, slayed or injured 27 bystanders on highways around Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. before they were caught and convicted.
