Two people were killed Thursday in Detroit after an unidentified man went on a rampage with an AK-47, police say.

The gunman walked into a trucking business where he previously worked and fatally shot an employee before stealing a big-rig around 10:30 AM.

About an hour later, the 45-year-old gunman fatally shot a man multiple times in the back.

WXYZ reported: [Shortly after,] the suspect stopped and engaged with Waterford police officers in gunfire. He got back in the semi and got into an accident where he crashed into a car with two young women inside.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said it was a “planned killing spree.”

He said the suspect appeared to know exactly where he was going. There was an AK-47 in the vehicle with multiple magazines.

Oakland County Sheriff’s deputies located the suspect. He was transported to a hospital with a gunshot wound.

According to police, he went to the business in November with a gun and threatened to shoot people, but no shots were fired.
