6 dead in Kalamazoo County shooting rampage

[QChawks]

(CNN)Police have arrested Jason Brian Dalton in connection with three shooting incidents that killed six people and injured two more in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, prosecutor Jeff Getting said Sunday.

The prosecutor said he expects Dalton to be formally charged Monday.

There is "no reason to believe" that the Saturday evening shooting rampage is related to terrorism, Getting said. Dalton, the lone suspect, apparently picked his victims at random, the prosecutor said.

No motive has been determined yet, he said.

holy crap...

Kalamazoo police claim the 45-year-old man who went on a shooting spree Saturday night, killing six, was an Uber driver who dropped off passengers between shootings.

According to WOOD-TV, authorities are investigating reports that the suspected gunman, Jason Dalton, dropped off a group of people at a Fairfield Inn before going next door to the Cracker Barrel and opening fire on two vehicles, killing four people.

Six people killed in random Michigan shootings, suspect in custody

People staying at the hotel claimed the passengers dropped off there were interviewed by police following the shootings.

FOX17 is investigating an online posting that claimed that Dalton had been reported earlier to 911 for driving erratically and scaring customers who escaped from the car when the driver slowed down.

Does anyone really think this nutcase wouldn't have killed anyone if he couldn't get his hands on a gun?

When it's a white guy it's never terrorism. It can only be terrorism when it is done by a Moslem middle easterner.

By definition, the white guy is mentally ill and would have killed even if he didn't have an arsenal of guns.

I think easy access to a gun allowed him to more easily kill six people. No gun and he has to jump out of the car and use a knife or something. Greatly expands his timeline and increases his chances of being stopped earlier.
BAU for America. Unless you kill double digits it's hardly a blip on the news anymore.

You're right, but a mentally ill man with access to guns sure increases the body count.

It's ok, OiT told us it's all part of the plan. We've got a long way to go to get the population down to 500,000,000.

Yeah, it really is difficult to imagine any other even remotely possible scenario where an Uber DRIVER could injure and/or kill lots of people without using a gun.

Hmmm...what other way could there be? Man, that's a head-scratcher. Oh well, someday someone might come up with a plausible alternative. Until then, knife it is!

What do you wanna bet, he obtained his guns legally?

 

[Huey Grey]

As for the idiots claiming that he would have killed anyway, even without a gun, ask yourselves this? Why didn't he? If the other methods were just as efficient, then why didn't he use them instead?

Maybe he didn't want to get his Chevy Equinox all dented up by driving it into a crowd.

First off, Ol' Doodle's far from some sort of 2nd Amendment militant. But without knowing how long he owned firearms, your question could equally be applied to any other mechanism of mayhem (vehicle, knife, trident, naked pictures of Rosie O'Donnell) that he owned for a period of time but chose to refrain from using to facilitate homicide.

I'll grant you that you don't seem to be in the gun nut boat. But where are all the mass stabbings? Where are all the mass vehicular homicides? They happen, but at a far smaller rate. Why is the gun the first tool of choice to kill a lot of people quickly?

Well...Ol' Doodle provided links to 5 vehicular "attacks" in an earlier post that all happened fairly recently.

As for the question about where are all the mass stabbings...they appear to be happening in countries where guns aren't as easily obtained...like China (which has strict gun control for obvious reasons).

England has pretty tough gun laws...so the pukes there turn to the next most lethal and available weapon.

The nutbags will find a weapon and do them some homicidin'. In the U.S. that weapon is a gun a lot of the time. In other places, it's a knife or club or the aforementioned naked pictures of Rosie O'Donnell....but the unfortunate reality is that that in many of those overseas countries that we seem to like comparing ourselves to, the murder rates after strict gun bans pretty much stabilized right around where they were before the laws were enacted.

Of course, on the plus side, it's easier to outrun a knife than a bullet. So Europe and Asia have that going for them, which is nice...unless you're up against this guy:

If he'd been yelling Allah Akbar as he shot those poor people 50 percent of this board would be screaming about how President Obama was not keeping us safe. But, it was just a crazy guy so just wrong place, wrong time for those folks. Just the price we pay for maintaining our well regulated militia.

Violent crimes are at a 20 year low as are homicides and gun violence. Stay the course.

Lol, ok brah. These people are just looking for a big payday. Take off your blinders.

His car could have killed all those people just as efficiently though, right? I mean guns and cars are pretty much the same thing, right? LOL

And guess what. These people won't be able to sue the gun maker either. LOL
