Authorities have not identified the gunman or any of the victims.
“We don’t have any motive at this point. It appears that the three shootings . were indiscriminate and unrelated,” Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin said.
The shooting spree began early Wednesday morning when the gunman, driving a white Toyota Corolla, shot at a woman driving a white car on Route 22 near Route 309.
The woman, who is being interviewed by police, said she heard a loud bang, but did not realize she heard a gunshot until she stopped at the Wawa to get a sandwich and saw a bullet hole in the car, Martin said.
