Neighbors Say Kalamazoo Suspect Showed No Signs of Violence

A driver for Uber Technologies Inc. may have picked up passengers in between incidents as he drove around and shot at least six people dead over the span of several hours, according to police in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

The representative referred questions about whether Dalton was working at the time of the shootings to police. Police also said Dalton did not have a criminal record. "They just kind of laughed at me", Kacey said. Getting said the victims did not know the suspect.

Nye says his mother Mary Lou was a quiet introvert who liked to garden and sew, and she even wanted to start her own knitting business. "How do we put an end to the fear this is causing?"

Before Jason Dalton allegedly shot and killed six people Saturday night in Kalamazoo County, witnesses say they saw a man jump out of the 45-year-old Uber driver's vehicle.

Dalton, who is expected to be arraigned Monday on multiple charges of murder and attempted murder, was arrested about 12:45 a.m. Sunday when a Kalamazoo County sheriff's deputy spotted a auto matching the description of the shooter's vehicle exiting a parking lot at a downtown Kalamazoo bar.

"We have no understanding of the motive, what prompted the suspect Jason Dalton to commit this bad acts, and our hearts really go out to the families of the victims who were just out enjoying life", Kalamazoo police said.

Authorities could not say what they believed motivated him to target victims with no apparent connection to him or to each other in the Saturday night shootings. Police officers were briefed today that the suspect had potentially been on duty as an Uber driver while the shootings took place, said Jeff Hadley, chief of the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety.

Getting said authorities were not aware of Dalton having any history of mental illness. The four had taken in a show and were at a Bell's Eccentric Cafe on Porter Street when someone at the bar told them to be careful because there was a killer on the loose. County prosecutor Jeffrey Getting said the alleged gunman was "even-tempered" during his arrest. Investigators declined to disclose anything found in the vehicle except for a semi-automatic handgun. A 14-year-old with them was critically injured.

"He loved to do things outside with his kids" like taking them for rides on his lawn tractor, Block said.

The gunman shot eight people in three different parts of the county Saturday evening, authorities said.

Police have not released the name of the woman wounded in front of her children at the apartment complex.

A little more than four hours later and 15 miles away, a father and his 18-year-old son were fatally shot while looking at cars at the dealership.

Apparently Dalton was on duty while he decided among people at random to murder cold blooded.

Mellen said he called the police.
