Multiple Injured in Michigan Splash Pad Shooting

Multiple people were injured in a shooting at a splash pad in Rochester Hills, Michigan over the weekend.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said 9 people were injured, with some in critical condition.

The suspect, Michael William Nash, was later found in a Shelby Township home, dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

According to initial reports, Nash pulled up to Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad around 5:11 p.m. and opened fire, unleashing around 28 rounds of ammo on families at the scene.

“Authorities described the scene as chaotic — people were scrambling, falling and getting hit by bullets as they tried to run; ice cream cones and flip flops were covered in blood,” the Detroit Free Press reported.

“Bouchard said the nine victims of the splash pad tragedy included an 8-year-old boy who was in critical condition with a wound to the head and a 4-year-old boy who was stable with a wound to the thigh. A 39-year-old woman shot in the abdomen and leg was also in critical condition,” the outlet continued.
