A tragic incident unfolded at a Mormon church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, when a gunman drove a vehicle into the building and opened fire during a Sunday service, leaving one person dead and nine others injured. The attack occurred at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located approximately 60 miles northwest of Detroit, which regularly attracts hundreds of worshippers. The suspect, a 40-year-old man, allegedly set part of the church ablaze before being fatally shot by police. Authorities have since contained the fire but warned that additional victims might be discovered once it is safe to enter the building. The nine injured individuals are currently hospitalized in stable condition. Investigators are examining the suspect’s property and cellphone records to determine a motive for the attack. The FBI has deployed 100 agents to assist with the investigation, which is being led at the federal level. President Donald Trump, who was briefed on the incident, described it as “yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America” in a post on Truth Social. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer condemned the violence, emphasizing that such acts are “unacceptable” in places of worship. US Attorney General Pam Bondi expressed her heartbreak over the incident, urging prayers for the victims. The community remains in shock as authorities continue their investigation into this horrifying event.
