At least 9 people shot at Rochester Hills, Michigan splash pad

At least 9 people are injured, including children, after someone ‘randomly’ opened fire at a splash pad in Rochester Hills, Michigan, according to witnesses and local officials. The suspect fled the scene but was later contained at a nearby home.

The incident happened at around 5:10 p.m. on Saturday when officers were called for an “active shooter” at the city-run park on E Auburn Road, close to Spencer Park and Beach.

“It appears the individual pulled up, exited a vehicle, approached the splash pad, opened fire, reloaded, opened fire, reloaded, left,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. “So it appears very random. No connectivity to the victims.”

Bouchard said the suspect fired at least 28 shots. A 9mm semi-automatic handgun was recovered at the scene. The suspect, whose identity was not immediately released, is believed to be contained at a home in nearby Shelby Township.
