Last Rochester Hills Shooting Victim Released From Hospital: Sheriff

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — The last of nine victims who were shot in a random Rochester Hills shooting at a splash pad last month was released from the hospital Friday, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

The 39-year-old Rochester Hills woman was sent home after spending nearly three weeks in the hospital, according to the sheriff's office.

The woman was shot multiple times while trying to protect her children from the gunman, according to the sheriff's office.

The woman's two children, ages 8 and 4, were also injured in the shooting and have been released from the hospital, according to the sheriff's office.

"While we are incredibly pleased all shooting victims have been released from the hospital, we know there is a long road ahead on both the physical and psychological healing," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. "Our support will remain with the victims, and we will continue to look for any information that gives insight into the motive of the shooter."

Other shooting victims who were released from the hospital include:

• 42-year-old man
• 31-year-old man
• 78-year-old man
• 39-year-old woman
• 37-year-old woman
• 30-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 Brooklands Splash Pad reopened earlier this week in a step toward the city's healing. There will be more police officers in the area as an added source of safety and security. Signage about mental health resources has also been added.

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.
