The city of Detroit was on edge after police said a single
gunman randomly shot four victims, three fatally, in 2 hours and
25 minutes Sunday morning.

The sole survivor of the killing rampage, an 80-year-old man,
described being shot after spotting the suspect looking into
cars and confronting him, police said.

Detroit police said Sunday night that the suspect is now in
custody, and an investigation is in the early stages.

An all-hands-on-deck search involving multiple law enforcement
agencies -- including the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives, and the Department of Homeland Security
-- took place Sunday afternoon after police determined the same
gun was used in all four shootings, authorities said.

During a news conference Sunday afternoon, Detroit Police Chief
James White had described the suspect as a Black man in his mid-
20s to early 30s, wearing all black, including a black Carhartt
jacket with a hood.

"Evidence suggests a single suspect," White said. "At this time,
we believe this to be a random act. There does not appear to be
any relation between any of the crimes."

He said one of the victims was shot while waiting for a bus and
another was shot while out walking a dog. Three of the four
victims were fatally shot, police told Detroit ABC affiliate
WXYZ.

The shooting began at 4:45 a.m. when a 40-year-old woman was
discovered shot multiple times in a neighborhood on the west
side of Detroit, the chief said. Police said the woman died from
her injuries.

While officers were investigating the shooting, a witness walked
up and informed them of another victim nearby, White said.
Police found a 28-year-old man who had also been shot multiple
times, the chief said. He also died from his injuries.

At 6:50 a.m., the third victim, a woman in her 40s, was found
shot multiple times, also on the west side of the city, and
died, White said.

And at 7:10 a.m., the fourth victim, an 80-year-old man, was
shot after he spotted the suspect peering into the windows of
vehicles and confronted him, White said.

"When he told him to get away from the vehicles, he turned and
fired at him, striking him once," said White, adding that the
victim was shot in the arm.

The octogenarian victim was in stable condition at a hospital
Sunday night, police said.

The names of the victims were not immediately released.

White said the suspect did not rob or attempt to rob any of the
victims.

Using technology, investigators were able to quickly analyze
shell casings from each of the crime scenes and determine that
the same gun was used in all four shootings, White said.

"We have mobilized all of our technology, our personnel, our
intelligence and our community assets to investigate these
incidents. We are currently searching to apprehend the suspect,"
White said, adding that law enforcement helicopters were also
scouring the city.

"To the families and friends of these victims, we will continue
to work to get this suspect into custody," White said.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan pleaded for the public's help in
catching the suspect. He asked people to study the surveillance
photo released of the armed-and-dangerous perpetrator and to
contact police if they see him. He said anyone who comes in
contact with the suspect should not attempt to approach him.

He said the most important thing that can happen is that someone
who knows the suspect or has a relationship with him comes
forward to law enforcement immediately before he surfaces and
strikes again.

"Nobody in this department wants a violent confrontation with
this individual," Duggan said. "It's not safe for our officers,
it's not safe for the perpetrator, it's not safe for civilians
in the area."
