Scott Arnold, a salesman from the Kalamazoo area, will detour away from I-96 in Southeast Michigan from now on when he visits industrial clients.

The 46-year-old is the first person injured by a mystery sniper who began firing at vehicles on that highway Oct. 16. He spent Saturday night at a hospital instead of Comerica Park, his destination when a bullet entered his Nissan Murano SUV.

In a more recent development, investigators do not think the case of the phantom shooter entered its second week today. "According to Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte, the incident occurred at about 9:15 a.m. on southbound U.S.-23 just north of I-96 in Livingston County," The Detroit News reports. A vehicle was hit, though no one was hurt.

For an update on the weekend case, Ann Zaniewski of the Detroit Free Press spoke with the Tigers fan after his hospital release Sunday:

He was driving Saturday on I-96 in Livingston County when he heard a loud explosion and then felt a pain in his side. Initially, he thought one of his tires had blown out.

Arnold drove to a weigh station and looked as his SUV, a Nissan Murano. He saw that there was a bullet hole in its side. He pulled his money clip out of his left pocket, and it was covered in blood. He drove to a gas station for help. . . .

“I’m not going to drive (I-96).You won’t see me on it again,” he said.

Arnold was struck in his buttocks. Doctors decided not to remove the bullet.

A police task force is hunting for the man who has fired at 25 people, mostly motorists, since Oct. 16 along I-96 in Oakland, Livingston, Ingham and Shiawassee counties. A $12,000 reward is posted for information leading to an arrest.
