ARAPAHO, Okla. (AP) — A Texas man has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to killing two people as he drunkenly shot at vehicles while driving along a freeway in Oklahoma.

Custer County District Attorney Angela Marsee says 38-year-old Jeremy Doss Hardy of Pasadena pleaded guilty Tuesday shortly before jury selection was to begin for his trial on two counts of first-degree murder, assault with a dangerous weapon and other offenses.

Marsee says a judge sentenced Hardy to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors were seeking the death penalty.

Hardy waived his right to appeal.

1. Hope you had fun getting your John Wayne on there, Tex.

That's the thing about prison: no 2nd Amendment rights...

2. Why do I imagine him yelling, "Yeehaw!!!" as he shot at people for no reason but thrills? nt

4. We had a northern Colorado highway shooter a couple of years ago who has never been caught

I'd like to think that they are dead, quite frankly.

5. I'd like to think that too

but sure wish they would solve that case.

8. I remember a Colorado shooter during the mid 1990s.

He was drunk and shooting at cars on the interstate from his property. Killed a teenage girl he shot through the neck as she was sitting in the passenger seat of her boyfriend's car. So drunk he didn't remember doing it.

I remember he was bawling at his sentencing.

9. Ignorant a'holes with guns... There is a task force still in operation for the 2015 incidents

but it seems they haven't had a lead in at least a year or two.

6. One less gun toting red neck.

7. This is actually

why I don't keep a gun in my home. I like drinking, and alcohol and guns don't mix.

10. No guns in prison.

Whatever will he use to compensate for his tiny, shrunken penis now?

11. I consider these awful human specimens to be terrorists

I remember ... after moving to OKC in 1978, a gunman shooting at random cars on Northwest Expressway ... it changed me ... forever
