‘Kindness of America’ author shot in random act of violence
A man hitchhiking across the country while working on a book called “The Kindness of America” was seriously wounded over the weekend in a “random” drive-by shooting, according to police.
Ray Dolin, 39, was shot in the arm near Glasgow, Montana after a man offered him a ride on Saturday night, according to police who spoke to The Associated Press.
The primary suspect, 52-year-old Lloyd Danielson III, was arrested several hours later. His criminal history includes assault, police said.
Dolin is expected to make a full recovery.
