Uber driver blamed, but no motive yet in killing spree

A married, father of two who moonlighted as an Uber driver is being blamed for a shooting rampage Saturday night that left six people dead and two others wounded. The big question remains, what set off the deadly spree?

Police say 45-year-old Jason Dalton, described by his neighbors as a good family man, apparently randomly picked his victims, who were killed or wounded over a four-hour period at three separate locations in Kalamazoo and the surrounding area  The victims ranged in age from 14 to 74.



Dalton continued to pick up riders, according to reports by WOOD-TV, and drop them off in between the shootings, which started about 6 p.m. That seemed to be confirmed by a Kalamazoo man, using the Twitter handle @IamKeithBlack, who tweeted that he got a ride from Dalton at 8 p.m.

“Lucky to be alive,” he said in a later tweet.
On Sunday night, mourners gathered at Kalamazoo's Centerpoint Church to remember the shooting victims Saturday and pray for the survivors.

Lt. Governor Brian Calley called the shooting a “horrific tragedy” and offered a prayer, saying, "Help us to show your light when the world is so dark."
