I-95 Shooting: Police Want Help

The reason for all the traffic this a.m.: The AP and all local media outlets are reporting on two shootings that happened around 2:30 a.m. today on I-95 on the southbound shoulder of the highway north of Route 24.
The AP reports that in the first incident, emergency vehicles responded to a call and found a man who had been shot, and he later died at Upper Chesapeake Hospital. Another shooting victim was taken to Upper Chesapeake separately. The Maryland State Poice are saying these shootings are related. The second victim is supposed to recover.
The state police are asking anyone who may have been driving along I-95 at that time and may have seen something to call the Bel Air barracks at 410-879-2101. The police spokesman on the local news made it sound as if the shooting may have happened right there, or there was an altercation at that scene. Because the investigation is ongoing, the state police didn't release too much information.
