  • A gunman opened fire on children in a splash zone in Rochester Hills, near Detroit.

Chaos erupted at a Detroit-area water park after a gunman opened fire on children, wounding at least five people around 5 p.m. Saturday.

Gunshots were heard at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad in Rochester Hills and the local police department described it as “an active shooter situation.”

“We had an active shooter in the Auburn splash zone in Rochester Hills. That is still an active crime scene and we potentially have the suspect nearby, but for now we are asking people to stay away from the area. We have numerous victims injuries,’ the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said shortly before 7:30 pm Saturday night.

Oakland County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Stephen Huber confirmed that The Detroit News that at least five people had been shot. “We still don’t know much,” Huber admitted, revealing that the number of victims could be even higher.

“It’s five shots and maybe six.”
