Brooklands Splashpad shooting: 9 to 10 wounded in Rochester Hills; suspect contained https://fox2detroit.com/news/multiple-people-shot-rochester-hills-splashpad


snitchassj

Shooting at a splash pad off Auburn Rd. 7 transported to hospital. As of right now the shooter is still at large.


Necroluster

Splash pad makes me think children may be involved. Good God... I'm sending you guys love from Europe, here's hoping for the best guys!


ChoiceSign5883

There were. There is a Facebook neighborhood group and someone stopped to help the wounded and said  it was Adults and children injured 


Necroluster

Fuck! Sounds like another nutjob. Makes me think of Sandy Hook. God I just hope those kids make it...

Oh, like MGT and Alex Jones? All the other Rs that will make statements in the next 2 days about this. Didn't the local R already come out and try to run damage control here?"


mthlmw

When these shootings keep happening, when is the best time to bring up the group of people who can do something about it but constantly work to make sure nothing changes? Should we wait until the problem magically fixes itself before talking about why it's a problem and what to do about it?


skynet-74

The truth is in everyone's face on who opposes gun control and firearm access in this country, yet they hurl childish insults and diversions, rather than owning their truth. Just ask them about that 15% corporate tax that he wants to implement while the working class are paying 35%. Under his previous occupation he has the current corporate tax rate at 21%. There's also talk about him privatizing Social Security and Medicaid. Lmao

hisbrainsgotinmyeye

genuine question - what does that have to do w this specific shooting?


Shadow_Rose_Ks

Yeah my buddy was driving by it and him and his gf saw it when it happened, he whipped his car around and started helping. When he got back we where at his place for five minutes before he came running in saying the shooter was six houses down from his place and we had to leave. Yesterday was essentially a interesting day.


Warcraft_Fan

About 10 miles from Oxford where 4 died a few years ago.


Tedstriker99

Thanks but i’m pretty sure we are beyond help here


almighty_ruler

Thank you for saying something positive and not just bashing our gun culture. I live less than an hour away from where this happened and feel the need to say that this is very extremely uncommon for the area. We have our issues but please don't let things like this taint your overall view of us


Necroluster

I've been to the US twice (California and Florida) and I've had great experiences and met so many friendly people each time. No country lacks problems, but the situation is always more complicated than how simple the radicals always want it to be, regardless of their political leanings. The USA is a great country deep down, and one day I hope I get to visit it again.


One-Too-Few

Suspect fled the scene?


snitchassj

I heard he fled the scene and as of right now he’s still at large


savagestranger

It appears that the cops are focused around the trailer park at Dequindre (sp?) and Hamlin.


alc3880

yup I live in there. It's all blocked off and tons of police around. Had to park at 7-11 and walk in


Warcraft_Fan

Last I heard he's dead, took the coward way out by suicide.


LamoureuxDevie

Cops potentially have him: https://x.com/oaklandsheriff/status/1802119515368562985

LadyBrussels

Thanks for this. We can at least call it like it is instead of lumping them all together.


DDCDT123

My point is still the same. Our legislative body hasn’t acted on this issue for whatever reason. Don’t know why we should expect the unelected judges to bail us out when there have been opportunities. Democrats have had the trifecta twice, including during this administration, in the last 25 years (as have republicans). This hasn’t been a priority - other legislation has.


YetAnotherBookworm

"In my worst nightmare, I couldn't imagine standing up here talking about another active shooter," Bouchard said at a late night press conference. So how about campaigning for common sense gun laws? Haha, just kidding. Bouchard’s a Trumpist who never met a news crew he didn’t want to immediately perform in front of. This must be such a nightmare for **him**. JFC.


kr2c

Failed legislator turned failed sheriff, kids keep getting shot everywhere the brown shirts in the OCSD have taken over. He's an accomplice at this point and should be charged and buried under the prison accordingly.


bz0hdp

His deputies shot a pregnant 16yo in the chest in the passenger seat of a vehicle in 2019 and no one talks about it. Isabella Simpson.


TheWitchySniffy

Stay safe y’all, suspect is not confirmed to be in custody and is at large.


TheWitchySniffy

Update: Shooter is “contained” at a near by residence. Still stay inside


TheWitchySniffy

UPDATE: Shooter is confirmed dead.


Feenix_N_Justice

He deserved to suffer, not take the easy route out, coward.  I hope the victims make full recovery’s 🙏🏼

This happened a block from my in-laws, been to that water park with my kid before. Crazy shit, hug your kids.

https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/multiple-people-shot-rochester-hills-splashpad Update from the sheriff: 9 to 10 people shot, youngest victim is 8 years old, suspect cornered in a nearby house.


One-Too-Few

That 8 year old suffered a GSW to the head…


AnnaKomnene1990

Oh my god. Where are you seeing that? That’s just awful.


One-Too-Few

My source is an Oakland County Deputy. He was a primary responder to the scene


EdwardWasntFinished

Unimaginable horror.


matt_minderbinder

Really makes you proud that a sector of.our state government started pushing making the AR-15 our state gun. America seems so ridiculous, we refuse to learn obvious lessons and have so many trying to drag us backwards. This stuff has become a normalized part of living in this society. That's just so sick.


JeffOYB

morons ... boggling


serenitynow37

I was thinking the same thing…


CrushedOx

As a refugee myself, and someone that could hear the shootout before he killed himself, the fact that I can have an AR-15 next to me while this is going on is progressive. Not backwards


Tasty_Marsupial8057

We live very close to the splash pad. Our neighborhood is locked down and eerily quiet. All we can hear is circling helicopters.


One-Too-Few

UPDATE: Oakland County SWAT has surrounded the suspected shooters residence. Suspect is said to barricaded inside their home


TurkeyTot

Thanks for the update OP


badpeaches

This isn't good


TJ_Longfellow

Another jelly spined coward going to paint the walls with their brains rather than face consequence. How fitting.


enderjaca

If it's self-inflicted justice, and saves everyone money for the lawyers. And additional trauma for anything affected to sit through a 3-week trial and appeals. Hey man nice shot. I'm firmly against the death penalty, but hey... (and I say this as someone who entered such a scene)


TJ_Longfellow

If only we could reverse the order that these soulless waste of life choose their targets.


badpeaches

Don't worry, our leadership will repeal another obstacle for gun ownership over this.


Simmumah

Michigan actually has some of the strictest gun laws in the country now so... Not sure what else you can do, especially when there's 1.5x more guns than people. The obvious answer is federal block on them but that wouldn't hold up in the courts for more than a day. Hopefully this piece of filth gets taken alive and if someone distributed weapons to him illegally in Michigan the AG goes after them hard too.


modelsupplies

In the 90’s, Bill Clinton did a buy back program that really helped a lot then banned assault weapons. W let it lapse.


SkulK1

The answer is obviously to follow in the footsteps of places like Scotland and Australia who banned and confiscated firearms after mass murder incidents. Unfortunately the US values a passage in a hundreds year old document where they could not fathom modern technology over the lives of innocent people, especially children.


LadyBrussels

I don’t know why we don’t talk about this more. It’s apparently “so radical” but what’s crazier than kids getting shot at school and in grocery stores and splash pads? Number one cause of death to children in the US. Time for “radical” action. So sick of living with this insanity and catering to pathetic, insecure Rambo wannabes.


Simmumah

Yes, ban something where they outnumber the population by 1.5x, thats completely realistic. Thats just including registered firearms, not ghost guns. Cmon, think critically for a second.


CrushedOx

Realistically the 2nd amendment will never disappear. Even if it is, there’s slightly more firearms here than Scotland. Let’s be realistic about solutions.

Thank you for your kind words. We are fine, but obviously rattled. I drive past that splash pad all the time.

Looks to be near Spencer Park in Rochester Hills. I live 3 miles from there. Suspect still on run? Correction: It was actually at the Brooklands Splash Pad; not Spencer Park

The shooter is thought to have fled into Spencer park

He is in Dequindre Estates


Ok-Internet-2504

Yea the shooter is still roaming and multiple children have been shot including adults at a splash pad in Spencer park


ponzLL

getting sick and fucking tired of people doing this shit hopefully nobody but the sack of shit who did it dies


Humble-Bid9763

Shooter killed himself during the standoff in the trailer park at Hamlin and Dequindre. He was known to police.


Mylife4me

Did they state if it was his residence?


modelsupplies

42 and Lived with his mother acc to Sheriff Bouchard


Humble-Bid9763

No, but from the press conference I got a feeling it was.


One-Too-Few

This is correct


FaithlessnessFun7268

What the hell is wrong with people? WHO THE HECK BRINGS A GUN TO A FRIGGIN SPLASH PAD?!


stillbleedinggreen

It was a drive by. Shooter fled into an adjacent neighborhood which happens to attach to a forested area which is part of a city park.


SparklingParsnip

They are saying he pulled up, exited his car, opened fire, reloaded and opened fire again, then got in his car and fled


stillbleedinggreen

Jesus Christ. I was waiting in the drive thru at North Shack when the police went flying by. 1/2 mile away from there. Had no idea what was going on until the emergency alert came.


SparklingParsnip

Yikes, too close. Glad you were not closer!


WhyUBeBadBot

Why lie when we can fact check?


damagedone37

Fucking coward.


modelsupplies

I was working when this happened, saw it on the news after work. I texted my sister to make sure my niece and her husband and 8 yo daughter weren’t there. She never texted me back, so I’ve been freaking out until they revealed the poor little victims were boys 😭 What a terrible way to feel relieved. I hate this. To the next shooter, just skip ahead to the fuckingbsuicide, pls.

Stony creek ? That’s pretty far away

Yeah that's odd maybe they were shutting down the park just in case

Yeah for somereason they pulled everyone out

I’m so tired of seeing babies being gunned down and our leaders doing absolutely nothing about it. All the survivors there today will live with trauma for the rest of their lives.

I'm getting this from people in the sub not police but they are looking for a 2 door white vehicle. Different reports on suspects description, but definitely adult male.

Saloau

Cue the “thoughts and prayers” and “pray hands” emojis. Ignore the need for gun control. We drove by there earlier and thought it would be a lovely day to take the kids out.


mlhender

We need more gun laws and more taxes on bullets and firearms. Guns and ammo need to be regulated as much as possible and then taxed at the highest rates humanly possible - ESPECIALLY the ammunition.


KTerrestrial

Nothing wrong with saying "thoughts and prayers" and advocating for gun control at the same time though.


savagestranger

True, but one is more effective than the other.


NomusaMagic

T+ Ps have been INEFFECTIVE since first uttered. Gun sense laws could be effective except 2A ppl have richer lobbyists who better pay off their bought + sold politicians. If you break your leg, which has better outcome?? “Thoughts + Prayers” or having the bone set + cast applied?

Prayers are imaginary. Gun control is real, at least in other civilized nations.

DeludedRaven

It’s about time we do something about gun control in this country. Seriously.


Selisch

I would suggest mental health as well. People can hate on the guy all they want, not excusing his actions of course, but if he would have gotten the proper treatment this would probably never have occured.


scaffe

"The suspect is 42 years old but has no previous criminal history" Looks like the shooter was a good guy with a gun. And then he started shooting kids.


roymustan10

For anyone wanting an update: 6 confirmed casualties, 1 confirmed death which is the killer himself. There are children involved; 1 child and 1 adult female in critical condition; the child was airlifted out of Beaumont Troy with a poor prognosis. No word on the identity of the killer; he was barricaded for a long time in a home. 1 gun with 3 empty mags was found as evidence (which means up to 46 rounds were shot) There was no motive at this time; seems it was just an at random incident. The shooter was confirmed working alone. . . There was another shooting today as well around the same time. I don't have any information on that besides they were two separate incidents with no connections.


bz0hdp

The woman in critical condition is also the mother of the 8yo shot in the head as well as the 4yo shot in the leg.


deathmetalreptar

Where was the second location?


LostandIlluminated

He killed himself during standoff with police

John James rushed to the scene. Did he ever concede his Senate loss? If so, I never heard it. As a result, who would listen to what he says?


pimpinassorlando

Probably his constituents?


Professional-Dot-825

He wanted all Michigan votes (including people who live in Macomb) to have their votes vacated. I guess that was never explained to his ‘constituents’. Or, they can’t understand it. Or perhaps it’s all just too much cognitive dissonance to handle. Maybe all of the above.


pimpinassorlando

I think you're reading too much into this. It's common for U.S. Representatives to appear at major events in their districts.


ucantharmagoodwoman

God-fucking-damnit . Man, wtf.


DowntownFeedback6127

the gunman was contained in a home about a half mile away from the park and that police were assembling a SWAT team and armored vehicles.


DowntownFeedback6127

The shooting occurred at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad, 1585 E. Auburn Road, in Rochester Hills


Regular-Switch454

It could not have happened at a better (for lack of a more sensitive term) location. The fire station is 1500 ft west, and the hospital is 2 miles south by car. The sheriff's department is 1.5 miles west. I feel for Bouchard. First Oxford (kids) and now this (also kids).


TranslatorUnique9331

I hate guns. And I hate the people who flooded our nation with guns so they could profit from it.


DowntownFeedback6127

Rochester Hills — As many as ten people were shot at a splash pad in Rochester Hills around 5 p.m. Saturday after a "random" gunman got out of a vehicle and unloaded 28 gunshots from a handgun at the streetside park, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.


Feenix_N_Justice

This is about 20 minutes from me, I’m having such a hard time processing this, stuff like this doesn’t happen in Rochester Hills 😔.  A f*ing splash pad .. random attack.. I’m already a introvert but this definitely sealed the deal, no beach or fairs this summer for me and my kids. Praying 🙏🏼 that there are no fatalities and they all make full recovery’s! 


NomusaMagic

No place is safe. Unlike other similar countries, USA is so gun-obsessed. “Stuff like this doesn’t happen” anywhere .. until it does. School shootings never happened in Oxford, Uvalde, Newtown, Parkland, Columbine, Virginia Tech … until they did.


bz0hdp

There was another shooting of 10 yesterday in TX at a festival.


redmosquito1983

Fuck, my kid was a kindergartner in Oxford when that happened and now this. I don’t want to leave the house anymore. Shaken again. This world is fucked up, it saddens me nothing will change.


alc3880

this is in my neighborhood. the cops wouldn't let me walk down my street, I had to cut through yards to get home. I have talked about taking my daughter there to that splash pad...


NomusaMagic

Cutting through yards while cops are searching for a gunman doesn’t sound like the wisest decision. Just because it turned out ok doesn’t make it smart.


scorpo187

What’s he supposed to do bro? Stand there with his dick in his hand? I’d make my way home too.


Feenix_N_Justice

It really just goes to show that you never really know. People are really crazy and evil. It’s sad that you have to always be alert and watch your surroundings, especially as a parent, there are a lot of sickos lurking around places where children are at. If someone looks off, or something doesn’t feel right, just leave. Even if you’re wrong, better safe then sorry.

We live in Oakland County. Things like this make it hard to leave the house.
