Phoenix policeman reports he was ‘shot’ at on Interstate 10

PHOENIX — A Phoenix policeman reported that he was shot at Tuesday morning while he was driving on Interstate 10.

If his car was hit by a bullet, it would be the fifth vehicle hit along a stretch of the freeway by an unknown assailant since Aug. 31.

The officer said he was driving his own car to work when a side window shattered. The unidentified sergeant said he was near the 35th Avenue exit.

He was unharmed.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety said it wasn’t sure yet whether there had been a shooting or if something else hit and broke the window.

Authorities have been investigating shootings on the freeway between 19th and 59th avenues and two others approaching 16th and 24th streets since last week.

All the vehicles were driving in eastbound lanes.

Over the weekend, DPS said a car driving on Loop 202 was hit by a bullet but the shooting stemmed from an argument that began in Tempe.
