Police: Man kills 2 workers at different Michigan companies

TAYLOR, Mich. (AP) — A man who fatally shot two workers at separate Detroit-area businesses and was possibly seeking a third was "on a planned killing spree," a local sheriff said Thursday.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard told reporters that — when arrested — the suspect was found with an AK-47 assault rifle and more than 200 rounds of ammunition and appeared to have a "hit list in his mind."

"There were a couple tragedies today but there could have been many more," Bouchard said. "He appeared to know exactly where he was going at each location and I suspect he was not done. Who knows where he may have been headed to next?"

The 45-year-old suspect was shot Thursday afternoon by police in Oakland County's Waterford Township after getting into two shootouts with officers. He was being treated at a hospital. His name was not released.

guns don't kill people
must have 2nd amend rights
everyone should be armed
a good guy with a gun could have prevented this
the govt is coming for your guns
