The man was taken into custody Monday night at a home where police executed a search warrant Monday. The News reported that a man living in the home closed the door to media and said his daughter and granddaughter had suffered a “terrible tragedy.”
A news conference or announcement from police is expected later Tuesday, media reports indicated.
The string of 24 shootings have occurred on or near I-96 in Livingston, Ingham, Oakland and Shiawassee counties. Only three actually occurred on the freeway. One person was injured in the shootings.

Cindy, please clarify: "The man was taken into custody Monday night at a home where police executed a search warrant Monday. The News reported that a man living in the home closed the door to media and said his daughter and granddaughter had suffered a "terrible tragedy." "... 1) Was this person taken into custody before or after the search warrant on Monday? 2) Was the man taken into custody the same man who closed the door to the media? 3) When was the door closed to the media? 4) Was this person's statement given before or after "the man" mentioned first was "taken into custody" In other words how do these two sentences relate to one another and come together to make a coherent thought?

It's good to see that the police are doing their jobs and not ignoring the situation, as some crimes are left to go cold. Now let's wait, and hope, that the justice system does their job as well.
