Eighth Splash Pad Shooting Victim Released From Hospital: Sheriff

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — A woman who was critically injured in a shooting at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad in Rochester Hills was released from the hospital Monday, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

The 30-year-old Rochester Hills woman is home resting comfortably after spending more than two weeks in the hospital.

She is the eighth of nine shooting victims who have been released from the hospital after the random shooting.

Only a 39-year-old Rochester Hills woman remains in the hospital with serious injuries, according to the sheriff's office.

The 39-year-old Rochester Hills woman was shot while trying to protect her children from the gunman. The woman's 8-year-old son was released from the hospital on Friday, 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.
