A gunman has driven in and around a western Michigan city randomly shooting people in the parking lots of a restaurant, car dealership and apartment complex, killing at least seven, including a 14-year-old girl.
A 45-year-old man was arrested early on Sunday in downtown Kalamazoo following a massive manhunt after the shootings began about 6pm local time on Saturday.
A 14-year-old girl was among five people fatally shot outside a Cracker Barrel restaurant, said Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas, while a father and son were killed at the dealership.
A woman who was shot multiple times at an apartment complex was in serious condition early on Sunday, Matyas said.
Matyas said earlier that authorities did not believe the shootings were targeted at specific people, describing them as "our worst case scenario".

"These are random murders," he said.
Matyas told WWMT-TV that the suspect did not resist when approached by police in downtown Kalamazoo, and that weapons were found in the man's vehicle.
"The threat to the public is over," he said.
Kalamazoo is about 260km west of Detroit.
