Bail set at $1M for Cleveland man charged in random fatal shooting

Bail has been set at $1 million for a man who authorities said started shooting randomly at people and cars at a Cleveland gas station last weekend before he fatally shot an 81-year-old man.

James Hannah Jr., 36, remains jailed after making his initial court appearance Tuesday. It wasn't known if he's retained a lawyer, and authorities have not said what may have sparked the shooting.

Hannah, a Cleveland resident, is charged with aggravated murder in the death of Anthony Watkins.

Authorities have said Hannah walked through the gas station parking lot shortly after 1 p.m. Sunday and shot at various people and vehicles. Watkins was shot several times in the head and body and was pronounced dead a short time later.
