Search Area Expanded as I-5 Shootings Continue

Less than a month ago, the Wild Coast Compass reported that the Oregon State Police was attempting to identify those responsible for shooting at several vehicles on Interstate 5 between Roseburg and Grants Pass after 5 vehicles had been struck by bullets in that area. No injuries had been reported.

The Oregon State Police is again requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the person(s) responsible for shooting at vehicles on Interstate 5 in Douglas, Josephine and Jackson Counties.

From the time of the first request for assistance on July 14, several additional vehicles have been confirmed to have been struck by bullets.

Previously only Douglas and Josephine Counties had confirmed bullet strikes. The geographic location has been expanded to include Jackson County.

Still no injuries have been reported.

If you are traveling on Interstate 5 and believe your vehicle has been struck with a bullet please call 911. Note the time, location and if possible continue out of the area.

If you have information regarding the shootings or if you believe your vehicle has been struck please contact the Oregon State Police Southern Command Center at 1-800-442-2068 or * OSP- Reference OSP Case #SP20-173444.
