Authorities in Rochester Hills, MI, say at least nine people
were shot at a splash pad.
Here's what the sheriff said just moments ago.
Popped up or were they enjoying the splash pad?
I mean, what? What do you know about the shooter
so far?
Again, this is all super preliminary.
It appears like the individual pulled up,
exited a vehicle, approached the splash pad,
opened fire, reloaded, open fire,
reloaded, left. So it appears very random at this point.
Appears random. No connectivity to the victims.
How far is it the house?
Random. At this point, I want to get to CNN
Camilla Bernal,
who's also been following the details for us here.
What else do we know?
Hey, Omar, as you heard the sheriff there,
there's very little information, but what he says is that
this is believed to be random.
At least nine people were shot.
The youngest of those victims is just eight years old.
So the sheriff did not give a condition or ages
of all of the victims,
but says they are obviously working through all of this.
And you heard him there.
This is someone who pulled up to this flash bad,
started shooting, reloaded and continued shooting.
The sheriff saying that he believes about 28 times is
the number of times that this person shot.
Towards the splash pad. So this is something that went
on for quite some time,
at least in terms of how long it took him
to fire 28 shots with.
The sheriff is also saying is that they believe they
have this suspect contained in a home.
He said that he was essentially on his way there
now and they believe that he was the person responsible.
