LILLINGTON, N.C. (AP) - Authorities in Harnett County say a man accused of shooting a motorist who flashed his high-beam headlights at him is a suspect in other shootings.

The Fayetteville Observer reports (https://bit.ly/2lgPqIa) the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that 20-year-old Tyree Shariffe Newsuan may be involved in multiple shootings in that county and surrounding counties. The information contained in an arrest report provided no other details.

The sheriff’s office said on Jan. 28, a motorist flashed his headlights at a car driven by Newsuan, seeking to get Newsuan to dim his own lights. The release said Newsuan turned around, drove alongside the other man and the two exchanged words before Newsuan fired into the other car, hitting the driver in the shoulder.
