I-64 Motorists Shot At
WEST VIRGINIA...
Two vehicles traveling on Interstate 64 in Putnam County were shot at Thursday afternoon.
It happened between the weigh station and the Teays Valley exit.
Investigators believe a pellet gun was used, saying the pellets crossed the Westbound lanes and hit the two vehicles traveling Eastbound.
Although no one was injured, investigators say those responsible created a potentially dangerous situation.
"The vehicle I investigated was a mother who normally has a child riding in the back seat right where the strike occurred," said Putnam County Sheriff's Department Deputy R. K. Lyon. "Obviously you could get glass on the child startle a driver and cause them to loose control and wreck."
If you have any information that may be helpful to investigators call the Putnam County Sheriff's Department at 304-586-0256.
