The shooter, 42-year-old Michael William Nash, fired 36 rounds from a Glock 43 semi automatic handgun at random before fleeing the scene in his vehicle.
[4][5] Nash was an unemployed resident of Shelby Township who, according to both police and relatives, did not have a criminal record but had dealt with mental health challenges.
[6][7][8] On June 15, 2024, at around 5:00 p.m. EDT, Nash pulled up in a vehicle at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad, a play area with water features intended for children.
Police had responded to the shooting scene around two minutes after the first emergency calls were made and had been able to track Nash to the home through witness vehicle descriptions and tracing the registered handgun left at the splash pad.
[4][10] Towards the end of the stand-off, police breached the home with both drones and personnel and discovered the shooter dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his chest from a second handgun, a Glock 19.
