Police in Indiana have taken a 17 year-old kid into custody
for the sniper shootings along I-65 and I-69 last weekend.

17 year-old and he somehow gets to a point in his life that he is shooting people on major highways? One person was killed, a couple more injured.

Breaking news on local TV station.

1. Sounds like Stephen King's "Apt Pupil".
Not blaming King. I'm just sayin'.

2. Hopefully the arrest stops the spree.
Does anyone remember Dr. Laible, an English professor at the University of Alabama who was killed on I-95 driving through Miami by a group of kids who threw a cement block off the overpass? Her fiance is getting married this summer after nearly ten years after the event!

4. A Lot Of This In Jacksonville (I think it was) A Couple Of Years Ago
Its happened before, down in Florida. I think they closed I-95 for a bit and that's saying something.

I hate to be harsh about this but it seems to me that with the shoot-and-crash nonsense we see on TV virtually every minute of every day its pretty likely the kid just wanted to see the cars crash after his shot.

3. IF he's the one, can we agree...
try him as an adult so we don't have to worry abt this type of random pointless terrorist being returned to society?
