Police in Detroit, in the northern United States, launched a major manhunt on Sunday after four people were “randomly” attacked by gunshots that killed three of them, authorities said.
Michigan City Police Chief James White told the media that the first three victims — two women and one man — were shot at different locations around the city in the early morning hours. After seeing the suspect scanning the interior of the cars, a fourth man asked him to stop before he was shot, police said.

Three of the victims died and one survived, police told local media. Photographs of the suspect have been released and authorities have asked anyone who recognizes him to contact police.
The shootings appear to have been carried out “completely at random,” the police chief said during a news conference. One victim was “waiting for the bus, another was walking her dog, and another was out on the street,” he said.
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said at a news conference that officers were “searching several square miles … waiting for the individual to resurface.”
“This man has already shot four people today,” he warned. The United States is regularly hit by shootings when parliamentarians resist passing a gun control law, despite being hailed by most Americans.
