The choppers were hovering here just a few minutes ago, searching it appears unless something else new just happened.
270 and 62. Grove City. 1pm

I just got back from running a few errands. The helicopters stopped searching continuously around 1:00. I hear one now, so I imagine it's sporadic. The cops are still at the entrance/exit ramps at 70 & Pataskala. I passed about 15 cruisers while I was out. We normally see zero. Anything more about Grove City?

Vehicle Shot On I-70 Appears Linked
No Injuries Reported

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A vehicle was shot Saturday morning on Interstate 70 near Pataskala, and investigators said the shooting appears to be linked to the series of shots fired throughout Central Ohio, NewsChannel 4 reported.

The incident happened at about 10:45 a.m., west of Route 310 near the Pataskala exit.

A Chevrolet Suburban appeared to be shot on the front right-side panel, NewsChannel 4 reported. The shot might have been taken from the Tollgate Road overpass.

This shooting is outside of the general geographic location that 23 other shootings have occurred, and a link to those shootings has not been confirmed. This shooting was the farthest east.

The serial shooting task force announced that it will hold a press conference at 3:30 p.m. and can be seen live on NewsChannel 4.

The task force said witnesses saw a white male in his mid-30s who was well-groomed and wore black sunglasses. They described his vehicle as a black compact car, perhaps a Chevrolet Geo Metro.

The description is similar to one given by witnesses who were shot at last Sunday on Interstate 71 in Fayette County southwest of Columbus.

According to witnesses to last Sunday's shootings, the description of the shooter was a white man with a handgun. He was believed to be 30-40 years old. The man was believed to be driving a small, dark-colored sports car or sedan.

A reward for information that leads to the arrest and indictment of the shooter or shooters responsible for Gail Knisley's death stands at $60,000.

Anyone with information is asked to call (614) 462-4646.
