Police: Man shot up hotel room

ALBION, Mich., March 1 (UPI) -- The manager of a Michigan hotel said a man arrested after shooting up a room at the facility had previously seemed "perfectly normal."

The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office said a 53-year-old Dearborn Heights, Mich., man, whose name was not released, surrendered to authorities at about 8:30 a.m. Sunday after firing a gun at the bed, window, walls and ceiling of his room at the Albion Inn, the Jackson (Mich.) Citizen-Patriot reported Monday.

Kim Turpin, manager of the Albion Inn, said she did not know what caused the man, who checked into the hotel Saturday night, to start shooting.

"He seemed perfectly normal until this morning," she said.

Turpin said the man left a note in the hotel room reading: "God delivered me from evil and placed me in Albion, Michigan."

She said the man also put the room's alarm clock in a microwave and switched on the kitchen appliance.

The man surrendered to deputies and Albion police and was taken to Calhoun County Jail on suspicion of felonious assault, possession of a firearm while committing a felony, destruction of property and reckless discharge of a firearm.
