They haven’t released that information en masse. Expect more information to come as the weeks go by.
You can disagree, but as you said that’s been the explanation from police thus far and it seems pretty lazy to me.
Also let’s add in plausible deniability. Has there ever been a point in Atlanta history that this many highway shootings have occurred in such a short span of time? In such specific times? Blaming it on crime would be very lazy to me as well.
I honestly feel like the authorities suspect this high highly the case but won’t release the information yet without causing major financial disruption to the city. Especially since it’s recovering from lockdown and involves the major highways.
They could be at the stage of doing more patrols until the numbers increase. Hell the shooter could be a police officer, but that’s just my opinion
