As many as six people were reportedly shot and killed in Michigan on Saturday night in a series of apparently random shootings, according to media reports.

NBC News, citing officials at the sheriff's office, said six people had been killed and three others wounded in shootings in and around Kalamazoo County.

"We seem to be dealing with a worst case scenario, someone driving around shooting," NBC quoted Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas as saying.

And now they have confirmed this somewhat...

Authorities could not be reached to verify the reports independently, but confirmed the number of deaths in interviews with news media posted on their web sites.
