ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[Duchess]

There's been another mass shooting in Kalamazoo. Seven dead, two wounded :(

Seven people were killed and two others wounded in apparently random shootings in Michigan Saturday evening, authorities said. A 14-year-old girl was among those shot and killed, state police said.

A suspect was in custody early Sunday and being questioned after the three separate shootings in Kalamazoo County, police said.

"There is no connection between any of them, this all appears to be random," Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas said. "This is the worst-case scenario that any community can have."

The shooting spree began at around 6 p.m., when a woman at a Kalamazoo County apartment complex was shot several times, Matyas said. She was in serious condition, he said.

Hours later, police were called to a car dealership where two people were fatally shot and a third was wounded and is in critical condition, Matyas said.

Police then received a call of a third shooting in the parking lot of a nearby Cracker Barrel restaurant where five people were fatally shot, including the 14-year-old girl, who was hospitalized in a critical condition but later died.

In that shooting, about two miles from the car dealership, the suspect got out of his car and started a brief conversation with people in two other cars, Matyas said.

After a few seconds of talking, the gunman "unloaded his weapon into both cars," Matyas said.
