## Transcript

Police have arrested a suspect in the seemingly random shootings on Phoenix highways 21 year old Leslie Allen Merritt Jr. was taken into custody in Glendale Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix. In the last month there have been 11 confirmed shootings of vehicles on popular Phoenix roadways. One person was injured. Over the, last two weeks Arizonans have been terrified by shootings that have been occurring on Interstate 10. Along with that, I believe we have some copycats. Authorities say they have linked Merritt's gun to four of the shootings. They believe it's possible copycats were behind at least some of the other shootings.

Merritt is being charged with criminal endangerment, assault, and unlawful discharge of a firearm. However Merritt's father told the Arizona Republic that there is no way his son carried out these crimes calling him a loving father. Whoever believes that my son is capable of this is a moron. They have absolutely no common sense. Police had detained another man in connection to the shootings but he was released after Merritt was arrested.
