KALAMAZOO, MI (AP)-- A man accused of killing six people during a series of random shootings in the Kalamazoo area last month will undergo a mental competency exam, delaying the criminal case until May.
Online court records show that a request made by Jason Dalton's attorney for the exam was granted Thursday during a conference with a judge and a prosecutor.
The next court hearing is set for May 10.
Dalton is charged with murder and attempted murder in the Feb. 20 attacks. Police say the 45-year-old shot people outside an apartment building, a restaurant and a car dealership in between driving people for Uber.
Investigators say he didn't know the victims, and a motive hasn't been disclosed. Two other people were shot but survived.
