Remember that INITIAL info often turns out wrong. 6 callers reporting damage by gunshots on I-4 from the Seminole Co. line, east to I-95 and north to the Flagler line. No injuries. Preliminarily it looks like a small caliber/pellet/BB gun may be involved, but that is unconfirmed. https://t.co/k1vKrKF0Lp — Mike Chitwood (@SheriffChitwood) January 2, 2020
