Bristol, Tenn. – A black Army veteran accused of killing a woman and injuring a police officer and two others when he shot at passing cars along a Tennessee highway was indicted Tuesday on charges including murder and attempted murder, police said.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced the indictment of Lakeem Keon Scott, 37, in a statement. He also faces a charge of using a firearm during a felony for the shootings in Bristol last week.

Authorities have said they think Scott targeted police officers and others because he was troubled by incidents involving black people and law enforcement officers, but they’re still investigating.
