    (CNN) -- [Breaking news update, 7:11 p.m. ET]
    A suspect is in custody in connection with as many as 20 recent highway shootings in the Kansas City, Missouri, area, Police Chief Darryl Forte said Thursday on the department's verified Twitter account.

    [Original story, published 3:57 a.m. ET]

    Is this another one?

    Police are investigating a possible shooting that could be the latest in a series of shootings targeting drivers in the Kansas City metropolitan area over the past month.


    Four people told police their minivan may have been shot at Wednesday when they were at a stoplight in south Kansas City.


    "They said they heard what they thought were two gunshots and then noticed that their passenger rear window had broke out," said Capt. Tye Grant with the Kansas City police. They then drove home and cleaned up the glass before calling police.


    After combing the minivan, police found no bullet, no holes and no additional damage to the vehicle.


    This comes as local and federal authorities, including the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, are trying to find out who is behind as many as 20 shootings since early March.


    All of them occurred on major highways and roads around the city
    between March 8 and April 6, police said. Three people have been shot, but there have been no life-threatening injuries.


    If Wednesday's incident is added to the list, it would be the first in 10 days.


    Police say they expect the numbers to change as they investigate more incidents and rule out others.


    Authorities are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the case.


    "Sometimes it's a little like a needle in a haystack, but they have come up with some very interesting things through the law enforcement research center crunching data and getting good tips," Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Sly James told CNN affiliate KCTV.


    A U.S. law enforcement official briefed on the case said that investigators are still trying to figure out if the shootings are related and, if so, how many might be connected. The official said federal agents used dogs on I-435 last week to search for shell casings that might tie the cases toget

    her. They have not said whether they found anything, or if the same caliber of firearm was used in some or all of the cases.

    The official told CNN that there are similarities among the cases. The attacks seem to be concentrated in certain areas. Almost all of the shootings occurred on the freeway near entrance and exit ramps.


    Police are increasing their presence in the areas where the shootings have occurred, and some drivers said they were taking secondary roads, especially after nightfall.


    Investigators are asking drivers to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity immediately. Many residents are confident police will figure out who is taking aim at drivers.


    The mayor says progress is being made, but police have a lot to sort through.


    "They're trying to catch a random person in a vehicle that's only marginally been described who could be any place in the city at any time doing whatever," he said.

    Police search home of highway shooting suspect

    GRANDVIEW, Mo. (AP) — Police have arrested a male suspect in a string of random Kansas City-area highway shootings that have wounded three people.

    Kansas City, Mo., police Chief Darryl Forte declined to identify the suspect during a Thursday night news conference near the suspect's home in Grandview. He says he will discuss the case in further detail at another news conference Friday.


    Police are searching the suspect's single-story home and a green Dodge Neon with Illinois license plates that was behind it has been towed away.


    Police said last week that they had connected 12 shootings since early March in which vehicles were targeted on Kansas City-area highways and roads.


    Most of the reported shootings were in the southern part of Kansas City, Mo., known as the Grandview Triangle where several highways intersect.
