Arrest made in series of Virginia highway shootings

Virginia authorities have taken a man into custody in connection with a series of highway sniper shootings.

Police stormed a farm and fired at a man who confronted them with a handgun, according to reports. A second man is being sought, police said.

The series of highway sniping incidents began early Thursday on Interstate 64 on the 20-mile stretch between Charlottesville and Waynesboro, police said. Bullets hit two cars, a van, a tractor-trailer, another vehicle and an unoccupied dump truck and two people were injured.

Among the clues is a surveillance video of a rather unique car -- a 1970s-era AMC Gremlin seen around the time shots were fired at a bank and a residence in Waynesboro. The car later was found abandoned and police say the man arrested owns a car similar to the one seen in the video.

Seems to me that if you're going to commit a crime, a Gremlin getaway car would stick out like a sore thumb. If you're too young to remember a Gremlin, then watch this.
