ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — An 8-year-old boy who was critically injured in a shooting at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad in Rochester Hills was released from the hospital Friday, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

The boy's mother, a 39-year-old Rochester Hills woman who was shot at the splash pad while shielding her children from the gunman, was still in the hospital with serious injuries, according to the sheriff's office.

A 30-year-old woman was also still in the hospital with serious injuries after she was shot at the splash pad, according to the sheriff's office.

The two women are the only two shooting victims that were still in the hospital, according to the sheriff's office.

Nine people, including two children, were shot at the splash pad on June 15, according to the sheriff's office.

Six of the nine were released from the hospital shortly after the shooting, including:

• 4-year-old boy
• 42-year-old man
• 31-year-old man
• 78-year-old man
• 39-year-old woman
• 37-year-old woman

The suspected shooter, 42-year-old Michael William Nash, of Shelby Township, fatally shot himself inside a Shelby Township mobile home shortly after the shooting, according to the sheriff's office.

The county suffered another mass shooting in 2021, when four students were killed and seven injured at Oxford High School.

Many of the sheriff's deputies who worked those two mass shootings also worked the 2023 mass shooting at Michigan State University where three students were killed.
