Bishop Paul J. Bradley of the Diocese of Kalamazoo, Mich. offered his prayers and condolences for the victims of a shooting spree in the city that left six dead and at least two seriously injured Saturday evening.
"We are shocked and saddened by the horrific acts of violence in our beloved Kalamazoo last evening," Bishop Bradley said in a statement posted to the diocese's website on Sunday.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the six innocent people whose lives in this world were so mercilessly ended. May they live forever with God in the life of the world to come."
Picking targets seemingly at random, 45-year-old Uber driver Jason Brian Dalton allegedly went on an hours-long rampage Saturday evening, reportedly opening fire on a woman outside an apartment complex, a father and son looking at cars at an auto dealership, and a group of women parked at a Cracker Barrel restaurant.
