ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich.—Nine people were injured, including two young children and their mother, after a shooter opened fire at a splash pad in a Detroit suburb where families gathered to escape the summer heat Saturday. Police tracked the shooter to a home, where the man apparently shot himself to death, authorities said.

Authorities on Sunday identified the shooter, but his motives remained unknown as investigators worked to determine if he left behind any hint of his plans.
