Washington: The suspect in a spate of highway shootings in the US state of Arizona has been indicted on multiple charges including terror, authorities said Saturday.
Suspect Leslie Allen Merritt, 21, was arrested Friday but maintains his innocence.
At least 11 shootings have taken place on or near Arizona's Interstate 10 since August 29, including a semi-trailer being struck in the side by a bullet, police told AFP.
The only person hurt in the shootings was a teenage girl cut by flying glass when the window of the car she was in was shattered by a bullet.
But Merritt said he was being wrongly accused.
Police have linked Merritt to the first four shootings but warned there could be still be "copycat" shooters and that an investigation remained under way.
