As if the shootings aren't scary enough...
Tulsa - There are now four victims of an apparent highway sniper along the Creek Turnpike. The fourth victim was washing her SUV when she noticed the bullet hole. All four vehicles that have been targeted are SUVs. That has many people thinking an anti-SUV environmentalist could be behind the shootings.
A search of Internet forums brings up several instances of anti-SUV rant, including some very chilling entries that are eerily similar to what's been going on in Broken Arrow.
"Perhaps if they were to start a DC sniper-type shooting rampage of SUV drivers they might come close in the short run," one said. Another says, quote, "Shoot owners of SUV's in the head, but don't make it obvious why you did it."
The focus of these people's anger seems to be gasoline prices and the environment. If gas prices are in fact the fuel to the fire, Tuesday night's 12-cent increase in price may have set the shooter off.
Luckily there have been no injuries reported from the shootings.
Of course, no one is commenting at this point on any possible suspects or motives behind the shootings. But, authorities do say if you were in that area at about that time, you might want to check your car.
"I would be concerned if I was driving around about that time in that location," says Trooper Pete Norwood. "If you knew you were on the turnpike at that time, go take a look at the front of your car. There may be some evidence that we might need. It could be vital to this case."
WTH is going on??? I Didn't even know there were such things as "anti-suv" forums (I was shocked when I googled it)
