Kalamazoo Uber driver got fares between killings, source says - CNN.com


Six people have been killed in a series of apparently random shootings in the Michigan city of Kalamazoo, police said. Four people were killed at a restaurant and two at a car dealership.
The attacks are being linked to an earlier shooting at a car park, which left one woman seriously injured.
The woman was shot multiple times - reportedly in front of her children - and was taken to hospital in a serious condition.

A manhunt was launched, which ended with a 45-year-old local man, being taken into custody. Some news reports say he picked up passengers between shootings.

I did a quick google on him. Married man with kids, no criminal past.

I don't think the cry about fingerprinting would have made a difference here.

Sounds to me like he just cracked and went postal.

Well, Kalamazoo isn't exactly the country, but I get your point.

Man...he did all that in only seven hours.

That is one creepy mugshot. It's curious that most of his victims were women.

The police said that he was "even tempered" at the time of his arrest.

Very sad. Say a prayer for the victims. The POS that did the shooting should get the chair.

Too bad Michigan does not have the death-penalty. No question he did it, should be sparked-up in one year or less!

Michigan hasn't had the death penalty for over 150 years, at best he'll live out is remaining decades with the tax payers footing the bill.
