The police said that four people were killed by a man who appeared to be randomly shooting at people over a period of nearly two and a half hours on Sunday morning in Detroit, according to the police.
The police arrested the unidentified suspect on Sunday evening after a chase that lasted for hours with the help of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Detroit Police Chief James White said the information led officers to the suspect, but he did not disclose further details.
On the other hand, the department said on its Facebook page on Sunday night, "Thanks to the hardworking men and women of DPD who put themselves in harm's way every day.
Also, many thanks to our law enforcement partners.
White said the police traced all four shootings to one firearm and believe there is a single shooter.
He said investigators do not believe there is any connection between the victims, noting that one person was walking with a dog and another was waiting for a bus when they were shot.
He also said the police found a woman in her forties who was shot multiple times around 4:45 a.m. on Sunday.
White also said that while officers were investigating the fatal shooting, an eyewitness reported that a 28-year-old man was shot multiple times nearby.
The police said a third victim, a woman in her forties, was found in the area around 6:50 a.m. and died after being shot several times.
Around 7:10 a.m., an elderly man reported seeing a man staring at vehicles.
The police said that when the elderly man asked the person to stay away from the cars, the gunman shot the elderly man who was hit by one bullet and survived.
