On August 14, 2026, a spree shooting in Missaukee County, Michigan, left five people dead and a 13-year-old girl critically injured across three locations. The attack began at a residence on South LaChance Road in Lake Township, where three people were found shot dead and the girl was wounded, before the gunman moved to another home and killed a 53-year-old man. Police identified 39-year-old Chad Hickman as the suspect; he was later found dead alongside a 29-year-old woman near Whitlock Lake after a manhunt. Among the deceased were 40-year-old Amanda Everitt and 16-year-old Eric Everitt, while the critically injured girl was the sole survivor of the initial shooting. Hickman had a prior 2024 conviction for misdemeanor fourth-degree child abuse (serving a one-year jail sentence), though felony assault and sexual misconduct charges were dismissed; a neighbor described him as aggressive and harassing. Governor Gretchen Whitmer was briefed on the tragedy, stating, "My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the Missaukee community."
