Is Any Place "Safe?"
"Rochester Hills is a city in Oakland County... state of Michigan.... 2020 census, population of 76,300....14th-largest city in Michigan."< wiki*
Also:
"It has also ranked as the safest city in Michigan for the past seven years. [6]" w source ---
"Welcome to Rochester Hills, MI". www.rochesterhills.org. Retrieved 2024-04-26.
If info & source are still on that website, I missed it atm.

FWIW, some other info re crime, w raw numbers & rate comparisons to other Detroit suburbs, US, & US cities.

Regardless of where, how, & circumstances, these injuries & deaths are tragic. :(

If he hadn't unalived himself, they'd be able to get him for fetal homicide, if Michigan did that. I have a feeling this (formerly) pregnant woman and 8-year-old boy are the mother and brother of the 4-year-old who was also shot.

...On Sunday, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard warned residents to beware fraudulent pages since some people have falsely claimed to be victims of the splash pad shooting.

"These bottom-feeding scumbags are preying off this tragedy," Bouchard said in a release. "They have already shown their character. We are unaware of any legitimate charity collecting donations for these families. I encourage anyone interested in donating to check with the Sheriff's Office first. If there are legitimate sites, we will let the public know."

One page collected funds for Kyle J. Johnson, who falsely claimed to be a victim of the shooting, according to the release...

Pastor tells community at church vigil for shooting victims: 'I don't know the answers'

Mayor of Rochester Hills, where shooting took place, said text messages alerting him to incident at splash pad park 'didn't even seem real.'
www.detroitnews.com
Troy — Charity Litmore doesn't know the victims of Saturday's mass shooting at a splash pad in the city, is not a member of the community or the church that held a Sunday vigil for the victims, but she longed to make sense of the tragedy and create a sense of community in its wake.

‘The only connection I have is I feel horrified that this has happened," said Litmore, 29 of Troy. “I just wanted a place to express my grief with others.”

The prayer vigil held at 5 p.m. for the nine shooting victims brought an overflow crowd to Troy’s Woodside Bible Church; an estimated 150 to 200 people attended. It capped a day when the now-dead gunman was identified as Michael William Nash of Shelby Township, four of the victims were identified, and other area residents and officials condemned the attack...

From your second article, its so sad to read the mother's account of the shooting. She and her husband had to grab their kids, cover them with their bodies and drag them out of the line of fire, all while being shot by this jerk. The mom, who had the 2 yr old underneath her, was shot 5 times while trying to get away. It sounds like this creep was deliberately trying to shoot through her to kill the child. The dad was holding the 7 month old baby and was shot in the shin. He yelled at his wife to grab their daughter and try to get away.
