Raleigh cops are examining after 6 different capturings right into automobiles throughout early morning heavy traffic along Interstate 40.
Deputy Chief Rico Boyce claimed the very first case was reported Monday near the Chapel Hill Road departure when a female endured a non-life-threatening gunfire injury to her leg.
Later that day, cops replied to a 2nd telephone call from a target reporting a solitary gunfire to their car while taking a trip near the Buck Jones Road departure; that individual was not harmed, Boyce claimed throughout a press conference Wednesday.
No events were reported Tuesday, however at 4:58 a.m. Wednesday, cops were contacted us to a capturing near the Chapel Hill Road departure, Boyce claimed. There were a total amount of 4 events Wednesday, he claimed.
“During the course of the investigation, additional victims reported that their vehicles were also struck by gunfire shortly after the original call came in,” Boyce claimed. “While no one was injured during this morning’s incidents, we are actively working to identify the individual or individuals responsible.”
Boyce would certainly not talk about whether private investigators think the shots are originating from one more car or from the side of the roadway. The tool concerned is believed to be a hand gun, he claimed.
“We are working closely with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the Wake County Sheriff’s Office and the Cary Police Department to investigate these incidents,” he claimed. “We are asking for the public to contact us if they recall anything that may be valuable to this investigation.”
Investigators are specifically thinking about prospective dashboard webcam video footage from those following Interstate 40 throughout the morning hours on Monday or Wednesday, Boyce claimed.

At the very least a few of the events are thought to be attached, and Raleigh cops will certainly be giving additional patrols along Interstate 40 in the coming days, according to Boyce.
“We’re gonna be out there until we find who is responsible for this incident,” he claimed.
