KALAMAZOO, MI - Noberto Dirruete was leaving Shakespeare's Pub with his girlfriend after celebrating his 22nd birthday when he pulled down a side street and saw police lights.

While he was at the bar, 241 E. Kalamazoo Ave., Dirruete said he had been watching the TV news coverage of Saturday night's shooting spree that killed seven people and injured at least one more.

When he stepped out of the bar early Sunday, he said he saw a flurry of police activity.

"We just happened to see all the cop cars pull up. I pulled over and I asked the cop 'Did you guys catch him? And he said 'yes.'"

Dirruete said he did not see them pull the suspect out of the vehicle.

"I didn't see the guy at all. I didn't want to be that close."

Police around 12:40 a.m. said they arrested a suspect in the deadly shootings. A sheriff's deputy reportedly spotted the suspect's vehicle - a Chevy HHR - and pulled it over. Authorities said the arrest was not confrontational.

The shootings occurred at three different locations across Kalamazoo County.
