The victim, whose name has not been released, was shot multiple times. “Death is not right, but he killed six innocent people and injured two people and nearly killed five children”.
Bonnie Newburn was a friend of the victims. Doctors say, at one point, her heart stopped, but she’s now fighting for her life. Four of them were killed in two vehicles Saturday outside of a restaurant, while a father and son were shot at a auto dealership.
Dalton is being held without bail on six counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder.

He’s since confessed to the shootings and faces first-degree murder charges.
Dalton bought the gun legally and that it was registered in his name.
