The two men killed at the Kia dealership were just over a mile away from my home when it happened. Makes me rethink how valuable life is.

Full timeline of shooting spree
The situation began around 6 p.m., at Meadows Townhomes, off G Avenue, near Comstock. A woman was shot several times outside her home and is in critical condition at the hospital. The suspect then took off, eventually crashing his vehicle.
He has since been identified as 45-year-old Jason Dalton.
Hours later, around 10:15 p.m., two people--a father and son--were shot and killed in at Seelye Ford Kia, in Kalamazoo.
Around 15 minutes later police say Dalton opened fire at the Cracker Barrel, killing four people and critically injuring a 14-year-old girl, before again fleeing the scene.
In the course of police investigation, officers spoke to an eyewitness from the Seelye shooting, and combined that information with surveillance photos from the dealership, to develop a description of the suspect.
At around 12:40 a.m., investigators located a vehicle matching the description and initiated a traffic stop.
Police identified the suspect at that traffic stop, and he was brought into custody without incident. A semi-automatic weapon was seized, police say.
The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety held a news press conference at 7 a.m. Sunday to update the public.
They do emphasize that there is no danger to the public at this time.
We're told that Dalton does not have a criminal record, and he is expected to be arraigned sometime Monday. Sources say that Dalton works as an insurance adjuster.
Neighbors say that Dalton had been acting paranoid prior to the shootings.
Several people have said that Dalton was their driver for Uber. We have also found that someone may have had an experience with him during an Uber ride yesterday. The following posts were put out on Facebook:
The Kalamazoo County Prosecutor says that Dalton will be charged with six counts of murder, two counts with assault with intent to commit murder and six counts of felony firearm.
