Fans traveling to East Lansing this weekend for the Michigan State-Nebraska football game can expect to see more police patrolling along I-96.

The added police presence is in response to last month’s still unsolved shooting spree along the I-96 corridor.    Two dozen cars were shot at between October 16th and 27th,  along a nearly 100 mile stretch between Ingham and Oakland Counties.  One person suffered a minor injury.

The last incident connected to the shooting spree occurred last Saturday.

“Certainly we want the public reassured that we’re trying to keep them safe,” says Ingham County Sheriff Gene Wriggelsworth, “But while doing that, if something happens we’ll have a lot of resources available to work on it.”

DETROIT (AP) - A judge has blocked the government from taking any action against a Detroit-area company that opposes the contraception mandate in the new federal health law.

Federal Judge Robert Cleland says the government could eventually win the lawsuit, but he ordered a preliminary injunction Wednesday in favor of Weingartz Supply Co., which sells outdoor power equipment.

Weingartz says the contraception mandate violates the free speech rights of company owners who are Roman Catholic. But under the new health care law, companies can be fined if they don't offer insurance.

Cleland justified the injunction by saying the loss of First Amendment rights, even for a brief period, is an "irreparable injury."

There’s concern that news media coverage of an unsolved shooting spree along the I-96 corridor is spreading fear in the motoring public.

Its happened a couple times since the shooting spree investigation started a few weeks ago.   The news media starts reporting on a new possible incident involving the shooter.  Only later it turned out that it was a minor ‘road rage’ incident or a rock hitting a car windshield.

“So what’s getting out there is ‘you can’t travel 96 without getting shot at.’  That is not the case.” says Lt. Mike Shaw of the Michigan State Police.

Shaw says constant media updates on events that are not related to the shooting spree is spreading fear.
