PHOENIX (AP) – A suspect has been arrested in a string of shootings along Phoenix-area freeways that have kept drivers on edge for weeks, state officials said Friday night.
A spokesman for Gov. Doug Ducey said a man was taken into custody around 7 p.m. at a Wal-Mart in Glendale, a suburb west of Phoenix.
Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves confirmed that an arrest was made but declined to provide any details. A news conference was scheduled for late Friday.
“We got him!” Ducey tweeted. “Great work by Arizona DPS investigators and SWAT team.”
However, it was unclear if authorities believe the suspect is responsible for all of the shootings.
