Multiple shot at Michigan water park as ‘active shooter situation’ is contained.

Eight people have been shot, including two children, at a splash pad in Michigan on Saturday evening.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard announced late on Saturday local time that the shooting took place at Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad in Rochester Hills — about 45km from Detroit.

An “active shooter situation” unfolded, which led police to a nearby home.

It was there that a 42-year-old suspect was “contained” by authorities before the shooter took their own life.

Police fear the gunman could have been planning a “second chapter” after they located a firearm on the kitchen table inside the home.....
