Freeway shootings investigation continues in wake of arrests in ‘copycat crime’

PHOENIX (KPHO/KTVK) –

Three people, all 18 years old, have been arrested in what law enforcement authorities are calling a copycat crime in the wake of a string of high-profile, freeway shootings that have plagued the Phoenix area since Aug. 29.

The apprehensions came after a man and wife in their vehicle reported a car came up alongside theirs Saturday night. The three occupants used a slingshot and granite rocks to shatter the driver’s side window of the victim’s car, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said.
