Neighbor of suspect in Rochester Hills paddling pool shooting witnesses standoff with police

(CBS) – Neighbors say the Shooter is said to have injured nine peopleincluding two children, at a wading pool in Rochester Hills on Saturday, was quiet, kept to himself and didn't really interact with the people who lived around him.

“Who knows what he was planning to do? He could have come back, you know. Some of the neighbors thought maybe he wanted to do something to us here, but nobody was here, so he left,” said Michelle Wheeler, a neighbor of the suspected shooter, 42-year-old Michael William Nash of Shelby Township.

After the shooting, the suspect fled the scene and drove to his home. Authorities surrounded the boarded-up home in Shelby Township and a standoff ensued. The suspect later committed suicide following the standoff.

While the suspect barricaded herself, police evacuated Wheeler and forced her into another part of the trailer park, where she had to watch everything via their surveillance cameras.

Wheeler says she has only lived there for about a year, but the shooter's neighbor, Kyleen Duchene-McDougall, says she has lived next door for two decades.

“He was just quiet. I always call him a kid because we've been here for 20 years. He's 42; I don't know how this happened. But just quiet. He hasn't worked since COVID. He just stays in the house; all the blinds are always down; there are never blinds or anything open, and he keeps to himself,” Duchene-McDougall said.

Duchene-McDougall says the conversations between her and the shooter's mother were always casual. She also says the shooter's father died a few years ago.

“I don't know why or what was going on with his mental state. She never told me that. It was more like, 'Hi, how are you?'” Duchene-McDougall said.
