Law enforcement officials are coming up with a unique name for a suspect who's being linked to 16 shootings across South Florida.
"We're more like, we're leaning towards even calling him a serial shooter."
Col. Talal Masri with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says nobody was injured with the agency calling that "pure luck."
29-year-old Sterling Maloney was arrested Thursday for firing into occupied homes and vehicles. Masri says all of the incidents involved the same weapon, a Glock handgun.
"This arrest potentially saved lives, even though we were lucky. Like I said, no one got hit. We don't know what was going to happen on the next ten shootings."
During a traffic stop in Boynton Beach, the firearm was recovered, along with a ledger that listed the address of past and planned shootings.
