Looks like the freak is heading South again. Rt. 23 is bad because it's only 2 lanes both ways, and especially during "rush hour" traffic is congested and slow. Here's the latest I could find:

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A van was struck by a bullet Wednesday afternoon on a local road, and investigators are trying to determine if the shooting is related to the series of shootings in the Columbus area, NewsChannel 4's Nancy Burton reported.


The van was reportedly shot on Route 23 south of Rathmell Road and north of Scioto Downs. A 32-year-old Pickaway County man said he heard a noise sometime between 1:15 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. He then checked the rear right side of his van. That's when he saw what appeared to be a bullet hole, NewsChannel 4's Duarte Geraldino reported.

A bullet was recovered from the van and was taken to a crime lab for analysis, Burton reported. Results could be returned Thursday.

Police used a helicopter and canines to search woods and a field on the southbound side of Route 23.

There is no word if this incident is connected to the series of shootings in the Columbus area. Two other shootings connected to the serial shooter occurred on Rathmell Road.

At least they retrieved the bullet. We'll know shortly if this one is linked or not. I'll tune in to the 11:00 news to see if there is any more information.

I just heard a sound bite on channel 6. They said a suspect is in custody but it isn't the serial shooter. DARN!!!!
