Michael William Nash, 42, has been identified as the man who shot up a splash pad in Rochester Hills, Michigan, injuring nine people, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office revealed Sunday morning.
The shooting took place on 5pm Saturday at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad, and Nash is alleged to have fired 28 rounds on the families there that day, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The gunman fled the scene to a nearby home within half a mile of the splash pad, leading to a tense hours-long standoff that ended when the shooter - described as a 42-year-old white male who lived with his mother - died by suicide.
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard told reporters in an impromptu update that Nash had no criminal history and was believed to have mental health issues.
Among the nine people shot was a group of three individuals who are part of the same family. One was an eight-year-old boy who was shot in the head and remains in critical condition. Another was a four-year-old boy who was wounded in the thigh but is stable, while a 39-year-old woman was hit in the abdomen and leg. She is still in critical condition, according to the sheriff.
