Six Killed, Two Wounded in Uber Driver Shooting Spree
COSTELLO: All right. We have some new interviews from Uber passengers who say they got rides from suspected killer, Jason Dalton, on the day he massacred six -- allegedly massacred six people in Kalamazoo, Michigan. One witness says he was with the 46-year-old before Saturday's rampage. The other witness was with Dalton after the murder spree and even asked Dalton if he was the killer.</s>MATT MELLON, UBER PASSENGER: He got maybe a mile from my house. He got a telephone call. After that telephone call he started driving really erratically. We were kind of driving through medians, driving through the lawn, speeding along and then finally once he came to a stop, I jumped out of the car and ran away.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He didn't seem like the type -- I mean, our interaction with him was very basic. It was like a five-minute ride. And I said you're not the shooter, are you? And he said no. And I said, are you sure? And he kind of just said, no. I'm just tired. I've been driving for seven hours.</s>COSTELLO: CNN's Ryan Young live in Kalamazoo where Dalton will soon face a judge. Good morning.</s>RYAN YOUNG, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Carol. Of course we moved here into the courthouse where that proceeding will happen. I can tell you so many people are just feeling chilled by the idea that he was doing the Uber rides in between these shootings. Of course, no motive yet shared with us. We also want to focus on the victims in this case because obviously so many people picked at random, shot. You know, we have eight victims and you have six of them that were killed. We'll show you the first person, Barbara Hawthorne. She was killed. She used to work for Kellogg. And there was another woman, Mary Jo Nye. She was 60 years old. She used to be an English teacher in this community. As we move through this community, so many people talking about the tragic loss that happened here. The young 14-year-old girl who was also shot, who somehow survived after they thought she was dead. People are talking about not only trying to move forward, but they really want to desperately dig into this man's background to figure out exactly what happened.</s>GETTING: As soon as we identified the suspect, we also were able to put together his affiliation with weapons. That was already known. On the other hand, he didn't have any prior criminal history. There wasn't anything that would put him on the police's radar as someone who would be likely to do something like this.</s>YOUNG: And Carol, that's something to point out, the fact that he did not have a criminal background. And in fact, people in the neighborhood where he lived also said, look, he was a normal guy who was outside working on his car all the time. Had a family. They never thought this would happen. Now we know he will face several serious charges, six murder accounts that he will face. Also we should talked about when we went and shot two people in that parking lot, at a car dealership, they were able to review that video and they knew they were looking for that Chevy HHR. And that was something that was broadcast out to so many people. Where he was captured? At that bar. There were people who were in the bar who were scared because they saw that car outside, and, obviously, as the story continues to develop, people just want to know what set this man off.</s>COSTELLO: All right. Ryan Young reporting live from Kalamazoo, Michigan, this morning. Taking a look at some other top stories for you at 19 minutes past. In just a few hours a judge will hold a hearing on whether to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the families of Sandy Hook families. The families want to sue the company that manufactures and sells the AR-15 rifle used in the 2012 shootings. The case has the potential to make history if it goes to trial. A law passed in 2005 grants gun manufacturers immunity from any lawsuit related to injuries that result from criminal misuse of their product. Within the last hour, lawyers for Camille Cosby arrived in Springfield, Massachusetts. A district judge is forcing Bill Cosby's wife to give a deposition there this morning, denying a last-minute attempt to stop it over the weekend.

The attacks have reportedly killed nearly 200 people. That would make these attacks the deadliest in Syria since the uprising there.
