Right now, there isn’t any area of the I-465 loop that is immune to violence and the shootings are happening at all hours of the day and days of the week.

Lorie Hendy says she just recently started driving on I-465 again after avoiding the loop for nearly four years.

“It had snowed overnight, so the roads were pretty slick,” Hendy said. “Next thing I know I heard a loud sound... and I saw this car losing control.” She was still on the phone with 911 when the man opened fire on her vehicle, and she says her first instinct was to just get away. “If I get shot, you’re going to have to climb on top of me and drive this car,” Hendy said she told her daughter. “I was telling all the girls to, you know, stay down.”

Since 2019 there have been nearly 200 cases of interstate shootings around I-465. In 2023, there have already been 17 cases reported as of April 25. “The majority of those, a large portion of those, are road-rage related,” Graves said. “These are strangers to each other, and they’ve been involved in a road rage incident and a gun was pulled and fired.”

According to that data, most shootings in the area are happening between the hours of 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. in the evening. “It’s a tough case to work. It’s a crime scene that’s constantly evolving," Graves said."There are people that are moving… We really would like more help from the public that’s there."
