Phoenix highway shooter?

[Alamo]

So everyone has probably heard what's going down here in Phoenix... this is a picture of my right headlight, got this a weekend about a month ago, driving my daughter back and forth for her SCUBA certification dives at Lake Pleasant. Somewhere around the I-17/I-10 interchange. Remembered hearing a "pop-tinkle" and thinking, "where did that come from", since there was no apparent source for a rock. With all the buzz recently, and it happening in the vicinity of the other attacks, I took a 2nd look... now I'm thinking it doesn't look much like a rock strike at all.

Whatever it was came diagonally from the left of the driver's side, hit the pavement in front of the car, ricocheted up and spanged off the glass of the headlamp. From first look there's no damage to the inside of the housing, most likely didn't penetrate through the glass, the combination of the upward angle of the projectile coming off the road, the angle of the headlamp and toughness of the glass caused it to bounce rather than penetrate.

The car is a 98 Benz, back from when they still had a tendency to build them like tanks... that's real glass in those headlights, good German glass. The force it would have taken to do that would have been considerable, especially after the projectile having bounced off the ground first.  My car has been hit probably hundreds of times by all sizes of rocks kicked up off the road, never left a mark that looks like that...

 I don't want to waste LEOs time with a wild goose chase... so I figured I'd put it to the resident ballistics experts here first. What do you guys think, rock strike or bullet (possibly pellet)?

I'd get them involved, man, honestly.  Contact the tip line and leave your number - request a callback.  That doesn't look like a rock hit it. 602-644-5805 is the tip line. Just request that someone look at the car...

Looks very much like the old headlights I shot with a .22 for target practice as a kid. You should call it in, the smallest bit of information could make the difference in getting this random shooting stuff stopped.

Call.  Your information could help to cement a pattern or provide other information that is now lacking.

Additionally, with the new information they are giving media, it appears there is more than one shooter:

Anyone not knowing what is going on is going to think AZ is pretty serious about their 2A rights. The offer people tips for shooting while they drive to work!
