Tennis pro, leukemia survivor, charity fund raiser.

Now Jaime Kaplan may have a new line for her resume: Macon city council member.

The two council members who represented North Macon's Ward 5 say they've nominated Kaplan to fill the spot recently vacated by Beverly Blake.

Kaplan spent years on the pro tennis circuit, once reaching Wimbledon's round of 16.

Now she's tennis coach at Stratford Academy.

In an email, council member Lauren Benedict says she and Nancy White have agreed to pick Kaplan for the seat. The full council must approve.

A new Ward 5 Post 3 council member will be selected in November.

Two drivers told Macon police that someone fired shots into their cars on Interstate 75 south this weekend.

An incident report says both shootings were reported around 11:15 p.m. Sunday and happened near the Hardeman Avenue off ramp.

The drivers told police they were heading south and they think someone was firing from the overpass, a nearby embankment or the off-ramp.

Both cars were damaged on the passenger side, but no one was injured.

They didn't find any bullets, but the two drivers told police they think a small-caliber handgun was used.

 Macon police are investigating.

Police Capt. Carl Fletcher says they don't know whether the shootings were intentional or not. Until they know more, he said, the case is being listed as reckless conduct with a weapon.

Fletcher says Tuesday, Sargeant Carmichael searched the area where they believe the incident happened for shell casings. He says nothing was found.
