A tragic mass shooting occurred at the Brooklands Splash Pad in Rochester Hills, Michigan, on Saturday afternoon. The incident left ten people injured, including two children. An eight-year-old boy is in critical condition after being shot in the head, and his mother, who was seven months pregnant, was also injured, resulting in the loss of her unborn child. The shooter, identified as 42-year-old Michael William Nash, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following a standoff with police. Authorities have confirmed that Nash had no prior criminal history but suffered from mental health challenges. An AR-style rifle was found at the scene. The motive for the shooting remains unknown, and a press conference is scheduled for further updates.
