The police in the city of Detroit US launched a Sunday hunt for a suspect who was believed to have shot four people in “random”, killing three of them, said the authorities.
Midwestern City Police Chief, James White, told the media that the first three victims – two women and a man – were found shot several times in a separate location around the city in the early morning.
A fourth man saw the suspect peeking into the car window and told him to stop, said White. The suspect shot him once.

The shooting looked “very random,” White told a press conference.
“One is waiting on the bus, one walking his dog, and one only on the road,” he said.
Mayor Detroit Mike Duggan told reporters that the agent of “several” institutions “” was exploring several square miles now, waiting for the person to reappear. “
“This person has shot four people today,” he said, attractive to anyone who might know the suspect to move forward.
