Five years. It doesn t seem possible it s been five years. The unthinkable happened five years ago. February 20th, 2016. Jason Dalton killed six people, injured two others. For his crime, Dalton will spend the rest of his life in prison. We now know this horrible night simply as the Kalamazoo Shootings.
An eerily detailed story in Esquire Magazine described the events of that night.
Tiana Carruthers, the first woman Dalton shot, used her body to shield her daughter and five other children by playing dead, and this act of heroism kept the children alive and saw her being nominated for a Congressional Medal of Honor.
