Police have revised the death count in a series of random shootings in western Michigan that have left at least six people dead.
Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety Chief Jeff Hadley says a 14-year old girl who originally had been pronounced dead by medical officials is still alive but remains in serious condition.
Forty-five-year-old Jason Dalton of Kalamazoo County was arrested early Sunday in Kalamazoo in connections with the shootings. Hadley says Dalton has no known criminal history.
Police say the rampage began about 6 p.m. Saturday outside an apartment complex on the eastern edge of the Kalamazoo County, where a woman was shot multiple times and seriously wounded. A little more than four hours later and 15 miles away, a father and son were fatally shot while looking at vehicles at a car dealership.
Fifteen minutes after that, five people, including the 14-year-old girl were gunned down in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel restaurant.
As of Sunday morning, Dalton remains in jail.
