The apparently random violence allegedly unleashed by Jason Brian Dalton left even law enforcement chilled.According to authorities, Dalton, a married father of two, shot eight people in three locations across the county of 321,000 people Saturday evening in what Prosecuting Attorney Jeffrey Getting told CNN on Monday were "Very deliberate killings." Police: Dalton said he 'took peoples' lives'Dalton was charged Monday with six counts of murder, two counts of assault with intent to commit murder and eight firearms charges. At a probable cause hearing just before an arraignment, detectives testified that Dalton said he told them that he "Took peoples' lives," after he was read his rights that include the right to remain silent. Dalton appeared in court via video, wearing black glasses and an orange jumpsuit.

The Dalton family released a statement, expressing its condolences to the families of the victims. According to police, investigators believe Dalton first shot a woman identified as Tiana Carruthers in front of her children in an apartment complex parking lot. Two hours after the final shooting, police arrested Dalton without incident in downtown Kalamazoo, police said. Uber's chief security officer told CNN that Dalton passed a background check.
