Sheriff's deputies and state police chased him at speeds of more than 100 mph before he finally pulled over after about 15 minutes , Genesee County Undersheriff James Gage said .
"He probably realized if he didn't , he was going to be shot , " Gage said .
He said LaCalamita was being brought to Genesee County , since it was the arresting agency .
Officers found a gun in the vehicle matching the description of the one used in the shootings , Troy police Lt . Gerry Scherlinck said .
Some witnesses told police that when the shooter walked into the office on the building's second floor around 10 a . m . Monday , he looked as if he was trying to hide something , Troy Police Chief Charles Craft said .
Police couldn't say how many shots were fired .
"I'm not positive all three of the people were targeted , but there appeared to be some purpose , " Craft said .
The families of the two wounded men requested "total privacy , " and the hospital would not release any details about their conditions , Beaumont Hospital spokeswoman Ilene Wolfe said .
She said the third victim died on the way to the hospital .
LaCalamita was listed among the professional staff on the website of Gordon Advisors , a public accounting and business consulting firm in the building .
Calls to Gordon Advisors were not answered Monday afternoon , and a recording said the offices were closed .
Scherlinck described the shooter as a former employee of one of the offices who might have been terminated as recently as a week ago .
The man was armed with a long gun , either a shotgun or a rifle , Scherlinck said .
The 170 , 000 - square - foot building houses a number of businesses , including law offices and the accounting firm where the shooting was believed to have occurred .
Police at first told workers to stay in their offices but a short time later evacuated the building , about 15 miles north of Detroit .
Bill Adgate , who works at LPL Financial inside the building , said he had hunkered down inside the office for a couple of hours with furniture pushed up against the door .
He said police told the group to stay put until officers allowed them to leave .
"It's tough .
I want to get out , " Adgate said by telephone .
