What the hell? A UPS driver shot at cars along Interstate 5 from his UPS tractor-trailer rig and hit at least seven of them, injuring one person, over the last three months in southern Oregon

They arrested Kenneth Ayers on (Aug 20th) Thursday night in Roseburg after stopping his truck on Wednesday about an hour after the most recent shooting, Oregon State Police Capt. Tim Fox said. Ayers was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, assault, unlawful use of a weapon and other charges.

Police have yet to determine a motive. They are investigating one other shooting in Jackson County that wasn’t near I-5 that may be connected to Ayers

Ayers is suspected of shooting at vehicles in Josephine, Jackson and Douglas County, he said. The shooting Wednesday night hit a woman, who was treated and released from the hospital. It was the first known injury in the string of I-5 shootings.

Troopers believe the shootings began May 12, shortly after Ayers’ route was changed and sent him south of Roseburg on Interstate 5.
