NOT!
Seems there was a shooting on I75 near Tampa.
Here's what I was able to find so far (Taken from the FOX News site in Tampa.)
HILLSBOROUGH DEPUTIES MAKE A PLEA FOR INFORMATION IN SHOOTING
The Hillsborough Sheriff's office wants to know who killed a husband and father. 49-year-old David Neel was a security guard from Zephyrhills. He was heading south on I-75 near I-4 Sunday when his truck careened off the road into a tree. When troopers reached him, they found a single high caliber bullet had pierced his chest and killed him. Investigators say it's one of the tougher cases they've undertaken because they have so little to go on. They say there's the chance the bullet could have been fired from the side of the road or the woods nearby.
They are saying it could be a sniper, but are still investigating.
They are down playing this because they don't want people to get scared. HELLO!! Some of us have no choice but to be on the highway. IT's kinda nice to know there's something to worry about out there other than the usual idiot drivers and construction.
Did I mention that is exactly where I'm supposed to go today? Yeah - Yipee!

And hopefully lodge right between his eyes...

Great...I think 41 and the slow way are looking a little better. Ugh, add another 30 minutes to my drive. Okay coppers, catch the sicko! And keep all who travel safe!
