The Livingston County Sheriff's Department is requesting information about an incident involving an unknown firearm firing a projectile and hitting a car Thursday afternoon.
A vehicle driving westbound on I-96 between D-19 and M-59 was struck by a fired projectile from an unknown firearm at about 2:40 p.m. Thursday, according to a press release from the Livingston County Sheriff's Department.

This case is part of a series.now involving at least 15 or 16 random shootings -- mainly at cars -- since Tuesday night in Livingston, Oakland and Ingham counties. The latest shootings were Thursday night, leading to the announcement of a police task force Friday afternoon.

I predict that whomever released the projectiles will be soon detained.
