Nine people were shot at a splash pad in Rochester Hills around 5:11 p.m. Saturday after a "random" gunman got out of a vehicle and unloaded 28 gunshots from a handgun at the streetside park...
"Under no circumstances in this country, particularly in Rochester Hills, should fathers be spending Father's Day in a hospital," U.S. Rep. John James (R) said. "I'm looking forward to continuing to work — without politics. This is an American epidemic that we need to fix, gun violence needs to stop, and we are now most recently hit hardest by it."
