Explained simply
Missaukee County is a largely rural area in northern Michigan, where homes can be spread far apart and police may need to search across a wide area. In shootings involving several locations, officers typically focus first on treating injured people, securing the sites and locating any suspected attacker.
The case centres on Chad Hickman, whom authorities have named as the suspected gunman, and the people killed or injured at the homes involved. Investigators will be working to establish the relationships between those involved, the sequence of events and any possible motive, which has not been made public.
