Not Random

Let’s hope they find the shooter soon.

Saturday night’s drive-by shooting in the Town of Addison that left a 16-year-old Slinger girl in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head was not a random act, Washington County Sheriff Dale Schmidt said today.

“Other residents don’t need to worry” that someone is driving around shooting at motorists, Schmidt said.

Nicole Sell was a passenger in a vehicle heading west on Highway K about 11 p.m. Saturday when someone in a passing westbound vehicle shot at her vehicle multiple times, according to the Sheriff’s Department.

Two other boys in the car, Scott Cecil, 17, of Hartford, and Justin Towne, also 17, of Slinger, were not hurt.

Schmidt said it was unknown yet whether the three teens knew the person who fired the shots.
