KALAMAZOO, Mich. (Reuters) - The Michigan Uber driver charged with murdering six people switched vehicles after sideswiping a car at the start of the shooting spree, authorities said on Tuesday, adding they hoped his phone would help establish a motive for the killings.
It was also disclosed that the suspect, Jason Dalton, who was reported to have obtained a community college degree in law enforcement two decades ago, visited a gun shop shortly before the shootings and bought a heavy-duty jacket that could conceal a small pistol.
Dalton, 45, was denied bail on Monday after a court hearing in which a detective testified that he admitted to the five-hour shooting rampage over the weekend in Kalamazoo, Michigan, about 150 miles (240 km) west of Detroit.
Hours before the first shooting occurred on Saturday evening, Dalton and a friend visited Southwick's, a gun shop he frequented in nearby Plainwell, a shop employee told Reuters.
