                        6 Dead in Michigan Mass Shooting

   by VOA News

   Authorities said they detained a suspect in a deadly shooting spree
   that left six people dead, and two others wounded, in the northern U.S.
   state of Michigan.

   The shootings took place late Saturday around the city of Kalamazoo.

   Police arrested 45-year-old Jason Dalton early Sunday in connection
   with the shootings. Police said he has no known criminal history.

   Authorities say the shooting spree began at an apartment complex where
   a woman was seriously wounded, hours later the gunman killed a father
   and son looking at vehicles at a car dealership.

   Minutes after that five people were shot dead at a restaurant in the
   city.  Authorities say a 14-year-old girl shot at the restaurant was
   not killed, as originally reported, but is hospitalized with serious
   injuries.

   No motive has been given for the shootings.

   Some material for this report came from AP and Reuters.
