According to MLive.com, investigators have determined that the $10 million federal lawsuit filed against Uber this week, supposedly by Kalamazoo shooting suspect Jason Brian Dalton, is fake.
On Tuesday, Jason Brian Dalton, the 45-year-old man charged with murdering six people in a shooting spree last month, filed a $10 million federal civil rights lawsuit against Uber. Dalton, a driver for the ride-sharing company, told police that the Uber app on his phone “literally took over his mind and body.”
According to a police report released on Monday, Jason Brian Dalton, the Uber driver accused in the apparently random shooting spree that left six people dead in Kalamazoo, Michigan, last month, told officers that the Uber app on his phone was controlling him at the time of the spree.
Police still have not determined a motive in the shooting spree that left six people dead and two severely wounded in Kalamazoo, Michigan, this weekend, the Associated Press reports. Undersheriff Paul Matyas said that while Jason Dalton has admitted to the shootings, he won’t say why he did it.

On Monday, Jason Dalton, the Uber driver suspected in three apparently random shootings that left six people dead in Kalamazoo, Michigan, this weekend, admitted to carrying out the attacks, the Associated Press reports.
In an ideal version of our deeply shitty country, every mass shooting would be a referendum on guns. If that were the case, the murder spree conducted this past weekend by a man in Kalamazoo, Mich. would perhaps be the ultimate litmus test for what this country can stomach when it comes to guns.
The identity of a suspect who killed six people in Kalamazoo on Saturday night is reportedly a 45-year-old Uber driver named Jason Dalton.
