ST. LOUIS - Authorities are investigating whether the shooting of an Indiana truck driver on Interstate 44 may be linked to eight other possible snipings at motorists in recent months along the stretch of freeway.

The truck driver was shot in the head Thursday and released from a hospital Friday. She was the first person injured in nine cases of vehicle windows inexplicably shattering in daylight since Feb. 26 along a 10-mile stretch of I-44 in and near Bourbon, about 70 miles southwest of St. Louis, an investigator said.

``Based on the pattern of other incidents, it's possible we may be dealing with a sniper-type situation,'' Bourbon Police Chief Bill Williams said Saturday. ``We're not saying it is, but we'd be foolish not to acknowledge that it's a concern.''

Amy Holder, 34, was shot near her left temple while her husband rested in the semi rig's sleeper compartment.

1. Didn't someone here at DU say it was about time for another sniper? n/t

2. Could you edit that title again

It should read

Authorities probe possible sniper shootings along Missouri freeway stretch

or at least part of it. Don't forget the subject line should match the headline of the article.

Thanks
