Interstate sniper on I-64 outside Charlottesville, Virginia

CHARLOTTESVILLE - Police presence will be increased today and tomorrow along the I-64 corridor where at least two suspects fired randomly at cars from the side of the road and from an overpass early this morning.

Two drivers sustained very minor injuries.

Flaherty cautioned motorists on I-64 to be watchful. "I think everybody needs to be observant,'' said Falherty. "We all need to be cautious...I think they (the shooters) could still be in the area.’’

State Police Superintendent Steven Flaherty said he has a "strategy'' to deal with the potential of more shootings in addition to bolstering police numnbers, but he declined to reveal it.

Police believe more than one person was involved in the shootings based on what witnesses saw at the site of one shooting, Flaherty said. They have no suspects, however.

1. What, they think they're LA?
Isn't Charlottesville kind of a backwater?

in a sea of ignorance.

It is Thomas Jefferson's homeplace, and the home of the University of Virginia.
