Jamie Bullen21 February 2016

Six people have been murdered by a gunman on an apparently random shooting spree in Michigan.

Four people were killed outside a Cracker Barrel restaurant and a father and son were gunned down at a Kia car dealership in Kalamazoo, in south-west Michigan, on Saturday evening.

The four-hour rampage began at around 6pm when a woman was injured outside an apartment.

A 14-year-old girl, who was initially reported as dead, is gravely ill along with a woman after she was shot several times at the housing complex.

Police said the suspect, who has been named as Jason Dalton, was arrested early on Sunday after a massive manhunt was launched.

Dalton remains in custody and was described as “even tempered” when he was arrested by officers.

A semi-automatic weapon was discovered in his dark coloured SUV, police added.

Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas said: “We seem to be dealing with a worst-case scenario, someone driving around shooting.

“These are random murders.”

Kalamazoo is about 160 miles west of Detroit.
