Kalamazoo shootings: Uber driver blames app
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35808627
Police said Jason Dalton, 45, carried out the shootings on 20
February while working for the ride-sharing company. "When I
logged onto [the Uber app], it started making me feel like a
puppet," Mr Dalton told investigators. He claims that the
smartphone programme told him to kill his victims ... According
to documents released on Monday, Mr Dalton said the horned cow
head of a devil would appear on his phone screen and give him an
assignment.
