Un barbat care ar fi ucis sapte oameni in orasul Grand Rapids din Michigan s-a sinucis, potrivit presei locale. Cei doi ostatici pe care-i luase, dupa comiterea crimelor, au scapat nevatamati.
Potrivit BBC, suspectul, in varsta de 34 de ani, ar fi impuscat patru oameni intr-o locuinta, apoi alti trei, de la alta adresa. Printre victime sunt doi copii. Barbatul s-a baricadat apoi intr-un apartament si a luat trei ostatici, dar pe unul l-a eliberat.
Barbatul se numeste Rodrick Dantzler si are 34 de ani. Peste 100 de membri ai fortelor de ordine au inconjurat imobilul si au incercat sa comunice cu barbatul. Barbatul a refuzat insa sa se predea si s-a sinucis cu propria arma.
