Cop arrested in 'honeybees' shooting
Investigators say gunman asked victims odd questions before opening fire

JOLIET, Ill. — A suburban Chicago police officer has been arrested in connection with a series of shootings that killed one man and wounded two others.

Authorities say Lynwood Police Officer Brian Dorian is being held on $2.5 million bail after being arrested on a murder warrant Friday.

Investigators had been looking for a gunman who approached his victims Tuesday, asking them questions about honeybees or construction materials and then shooting them.

Gregory DeBord, a former Will County prosecutor, said Dorian was convicted of speeding in a fatal 2006 accident after his pickup truck hit a car driven by a 17-year-old boy. Dorian was driving more than 80 mph on a road where the speed limit was 55 mph and couldn't avoid the car when it pulled into his path, DeBord said.

The apparently random shootings began about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at a work site in Illinois and ended about an hour later across the state line on an Indiana farm.

One of the victims, Rolando Alonso, 45, of Hammond, Ind., was shot fatally in the head. He was working for a construction company near Beecher, Ill., when the gunman began a conversation, then started shooting.

Later on Tuesday morning, a farmer, Keith Dahl, 64, was wounded near Lowell, Ind.

Garza's great-aunt Peggy Cassoday of Rensselaer, told the Times of Munster that the suspect asked about scrap wood.

"(The shooter) says, 'What about this wood? What are going to do with it?' My nephew said, 'You can take whatever you want.' So the guy took four or five steps away from him, turned around and when Josh picked up the wheelbarrow to move it, the guy turned around and started shooting," Cassoday said.

"He was bent over," Cassoday said. "That was the only thing that saved his life."
