The 42-year-old male suspect who shot 9 people Saturday at an Oakland County Splash Pad is dead.
Police say the man died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a standoff with police at a home near the original shooting scene in Shelby Township.
The shooting occurred around 5:00 p.m. at a Splash Pad on E Auburn Rd near John R, in the city of Rochester Hills.
According to the sheriff, nine people were shot, including a mother and her two kids. An 8-year-old boy was shot in the head, a 4-year-old boy was shot in the thigh, and a 39-year-old mother was shot and critically injured.
The other victims included a 39-year-old female, a 38-year-old female, a 30-year-old male, a 78-year-old male, a 37-year-old female, and a 40-year-old male.
Police say a male suspect drove up, exited from the car, and began to fire shots at a crowd at the Splash Pad. Police say the shooting appears to be random.
The suspect lived with his mother and is believed to have been mentally ill, police said.
