At least seven people are dead following a series of apparently random shootings in Michigan.
Police were called to an apartment building Kalamazoo County at around 7.50pm local time to find a woman who had been shot multiple times. She is described as being in serious condition in hospital.
Hours later, police were dispatched to a Kia dealership where two people had been shot dead and a third person injured.
Four people were later shot and killed in the car park of a restaurant. A fifth person was injured. A shooter apparently walked into the car park and opened fire on people sitting in their cars.
According to local media, an eight-year-old boy was shot and killed. A nine-year-old girl is described as being in critical condition.

A father and son were also shot dead.
‘We seem to be dealing with a worst-case scenario: someone driving around, finding people and shooting them dead in their tracks,’ said Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas.
‘I would say definitely it’s a serial killer.’
Police said at 1.50am local time that they had arrested a suspect, described as a 45-year-old white man who lives in the area.
‘The threat to the public is over,’ Mr Matyas said.
