OHIO MURDER CHARGE. The man arrested in the deadly highway shootings that terrorized Ohio drivers for months was indicted yesterday on a murder charge that could bring the death penalty. Charles A. McCoy Jr., 28, also was charged with numerous other offenses, including attempted murder, assault and vandalism, in half of the 24 shootings. The murder charge covers the only death in the case, that of Gail Knisley, 62, killed Nov. 25. McCoy was identified in mid-March as a suspect. But until yesterday, he had only been charged with assault in one of the shootings. Police and relatives have said McCoy is mentally ill, and one of his attorneys has said McCoy's mental health could become a part of the case.
