A man accused of randomly killing six people in MI had a personal cache of weapons that included handguns and long guns, but there was nothing in his past that prevented him from owning as many guns as he could afford.

An Uber representative said Dalton had passed background checks. “I said, ‘You’re not the shooter, are you?’ And he said, ‘No.’ And I said, ‘Are you sure?’ And he kind of just said, ‘No, I’m just exhausted”. He said Dalton side-swiped an auto and ran red lights and a stop sign.
