CHARLOTTESVILLE - At least one person has been arrested in connection with the Interstate 64 shootings that injured two motorists yesterday morning, a police source told Media General News Service today.

Police also executed a search warrant on a house in western Albemarle County earlier this morning, according to Corinne Geller, a spokeswoman for the state police.

State police will hold a news conference this morning at 10 a.m. to discuss the new developments in the I-64 shootings, said Virginia State Police Sgt. Dave Cooper, who refused to release any further details.

Two shooters fired bullets randomly at passing cars yesterday morning along the I-64 corridor near Crozet.

Two motorists sustained minor injuries from the gunfire, which came from the roadside and an overpass.

Police said they believe more than one person was involved in the firing.
