This Uber Driver Says He Killed Six Because Uber App Took Over His Mind


Last month, former Uber driver Jason Brian Dalton told detectives why he started a mass shooting in Kalamazoo, Michagan that killed 6 - the Uber app took over his mind. A 5 hour shooting followed. Detective Bill Moorian wrote in a report published by local paper Kalamazoo Gazette: "I informed Dalton that the entire incident is on video at Don Seelye. Dalton said that if we only knew, it would blow our mind. Dalton then explains how when he opens up the Uber taxi app a symbol appeared..and a devil head popped up on his screen and when he pressed the button on the app, that is when all the problems started." Upon arrest, Dalton was found with a Walther 9 mm handgun and ammunition, and was wearing a wearing a bulletproof vest. Moorian’s report mentioned that he’d only begun working for Uber for about a week, and that "the iPhone can take you over.” “Dalton described the devil figure as a horned cow head or something like that and then it would give you an assignment and it would literally take over your whole body."



"Dalton was asked if he recalled shooting some people tonight and he said he did recall that, but other than that, he doesn't remember anything," Moorian wrote. "Dalton said that it starts out that you have to follow the navigation, but it gets to the point where you don't have to drive at all, the car just goes ... Dalton said he was seeing himself from outside of his body."

After shooting a Tiana Carruthers, on Feb. 20, he allegedly shot and killed 17-year-old Tyler Smith and Tyler's father, Rich, 53, in the parking lot of Seelye Auto Group on Stadium Drive. Then, minutes later he attacked four women in the parking lot of the Cracker Barrel restaurant on South Ninth Street in Texas Township.

The trigger for the mind-takeover, according to Dalton was when the app’s logo color changed from red to black. The app, he confessed, "made him" get armed.
