From Staff Reports

Idaho State Police are investigating reports of two shootings on Interstate 90 just west of the Veterans Memorial Bridge.

One person said that at 10:59 p.m. on Saturday, someone shot at their car. Another person reported their car had been shot at about 1 a.m. Sunday, according to ISP reports.

No one was injured, but the cars had bullet holes and a window was shattered, said ISP Lt. Curtis Exley.

“We’ve been extremely lucky,” he said.

The suspicious vehicle is believed to be white and similar to a Buick. Anyone with more information is asked to call ISP offices at (208) 772-6055.
