Highway Shootings Precautions

Are you more likely to be hit by a bullet or a car on these highways?

If you're traveling through the area, it may we wise to take a detour. If you have plans in the area, I 'probably' wouldn't change them.
A RV could be an interesting target for the idiot(s) doing the shooting.

There was a similar incident years ago in Maryland/Virginia/DC.

relax and enjoy the travels....there are a lot of nuts out there. there are 320 million of us so i wouldn't lose any sleep over this.

I wouldn't deviate at all myself. Chances are you'll get hit by lightning long before being shot at...

I covered the roof of my motorhome in sandbags, and ordered bullet proof glass, like I have for my car. Sadly I have to delay my trip, because the bullet proof glass in 4' square sheets takes extra time for delivery. . .

Just get a M1A2 Abrams and you'll be good to go.

There are other hazards on that stretch of the I10 highway as well. Wife was driving to work at the local hospital many years back and was following a large truck that didn't have his hugh and heavy spare tire lashed down good.. Several cars behind the truck had to dodge this bouncing spare tire going down the middle of the Interstate. This was back in the late 60s or early 70s... Another time back then the Interstate flooded big time...

We have had a similar incident here on I64 near Charlottevile VA a few years back with some dude shooting at folks from a I64 overpass... They finally carried that dude away...

Makes one keep a close eye on all of the overpasses when approaching them...

Be safe out there guys...

Wonder if the authorities are using FLIR equiped choppers to try to locate the scum(s).

I am probably safe as I have NRA stickers on my truck !

Regarding I-25 in northern Colorado...

Just as a statement of clarification, there has been one shooting on I-25 in northern Colorado. Two other shootings involved a bicyclist on a county road north of Windsor, and a pedestrian out for an evening walk on a street in Loveland. The shooting on I-25 was a young lady who was hit in the area of the Harmony Exit for Fort Collins on I-25. Police have established a connection between all three of these shootings, but have not revealed what that is. A suspect vehicle, a "vehicle of interest", was revealed in a press release some time ago. The young lady that was hit survived, however the other two were killed.

There have been instances of windows broken on travelling vehicles on I-25, but according to official reports, none of them have been definitively described as shootings, as no ballistic evidence has been found to support that conclusion. None of these instances have involved any sort of RV traveler, whether a motor home or trailer.
