A Texas man accused of killing two people while randomly firing his gun along an Oklahoma interstate last month may have fired nearly 30 times, police records show.

Investigators said they found 28 shell casings inside Jeremy Doss Hardy’s pickup, as well as a gun holster, an empty pistol magazine, a magazine pouch, five rounds of ammunition in a magazine and one loose live round, The Oklahoman newspaper reported.

The Pasadena, Texas, man has been charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shootings of 45-year-old Jeffery Kent Powell of Arapaho, and 63-year-old Billie Jean West of Lone Wolf.

Police have said Hardy sped through three counties while firing from his pickup truck along Interstate 40, west of Oklahoma City, and hit at least four vehicles. He surrendered after a 25-mile chase.
