By Andrew Welsh-Huggins

COLUMBUS - Someone for the first time called police claiming to be the highway shootings sniper, authorities said Friday.

A task force investigating the 20 shootings at cars, school buses and homes is trying to determine the validity of the call to Columbus police, Franklin County sheriff's Chief Deputy Steve Martin said.

The call is being taken seriously and is a priority in the investigation, he said.

Martin would not give details about what was said in the call answered by someone in the Columbus police dispatch room. He would not say when the call was made, whether it had been traced or whether the caller was a man or woman.

One person has been killed in the shootings along or near Interstate 270, south of the city, since May. No one else has been struck.
