A gunman shot and wounded nine people, including two children, at a water amusement park near Detroit yesterday Saturday afternoon (midnight Greek time), before shooting himself after being surrounded by police, authorities said.

Authorities called the attack “blind” and said they surrounded the suspect at a nearby home, where he killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The local sheriff showed the picture of a semi-automatic rifle inside the home in which the unnamed suspect was holed up. A revolver was found at the scene, officials added. The suspect was reportedly a 42-year-old man, while the motive for his attack remains unclear.

An eight-year-old boy is in a critical condition after being shot in the head, while his four-year-old brother was also injured but is in a stable condition. The children’s mother is also in critical condition after being shot in the abdomen and leg, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bussard told reporters.

The remaining six victims, all in their 30s and older, are in stable condition, according to Bouchard.

The suspect got out of a car in front of the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad in Rochester Hills, Michigan around 17:00 local time (midnight Greek time) and fired about thirty times with a Glock 9mm semi-automatic pistol, changing magazines repeatedly.

The community of Rochester Hills is about fifty kilometers north of Detroit. Neighboring Oxford Township, also in Oakland County, was the scene of a 2021 school shooting by student Ethan Crumbley, then 15, killing four of his classmates and injuring six others and a faculty member.
