20 Michigan roadway shootings prompt school lockdowns
Kids were kept off school playgrounds Monday and some commuters changed their routes as police searched for a suspect in 20 random shootings that have mostly damaged vehicles on busy roads across four Michigan counties.
No one has been hurt, and no shootings have occurred since Thursday. But police on Monday added to their list two more incidents from the small city of Perry, off U.S. 69, stretching the investigation to four counties, Oakland County Undersheriff Mike McCabe said.
