One person was killed and three others were wounded in a mass shooting overnight at a Royal Oak Township park, according to Michigan State Police.
Troopers from the Metro Detroit Post said a 44-year-old Detroit man was killed in the shooting, which was reported at 1:45 a.m., Sunday, June 22. Three other people were treated for non-fatal gunshot wounds at three different area hospitals, police said in a post on X.
State police said no arrests have been made and no motives have been determined. Detectives were gathering evidence, conducting interviews and processing the crime scene on Sunday.
State police were alerted to the shooting from an open 911 call during which the dispatcher could hear banging sounds and screaming in the background.
When troopers arrived at the park, they found the 44-year-old Detroit man with a gunshot would to his head. They administered first aid and he was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
During the investigation, police said, they learned of three additional victims who were being treated for gunshot wounds at three different hospitals. They have been identified as a 33-year-old male from Detroit, a 15-year-old from Macomb and a 19-year-old from Detroit. The gender of the last two victims was not provided.
State police said there was a large crowd in the park from a party when officers arrived.
Officers from nearby Oak Park aided in the initial response and helped secure the scene, state police said.
