A prosecutor charged Uber driver Jason Dalton with six counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder Monday for the shooting spree in Kalamazoo, Michigan Saturday night that left six dead. Local authorities say that Dalton, 45, has no prior criminal record and they are still trying to discern a possible motive. Dalton seems to have chosen his victims at random over four hours and police say they believe that he continued picking up fares between the shootings, which took place at three locations.
Dalton is expected to make an appearance in court later Monday.
