Several people were injured after a shooting and a fire at a Mormon church in Michigan, local police say. Officials stated there was an active shooter incident at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, a town 60 miles (96 km) northwest of Detroit, on Sunday morning. There are multiple victims and the shooter is down, police announced. The church is actively on fire. The Grand Blanc Township Police Department stated there was no further threat to the public.
It remains unclear how many individuals were injured, and police have not yet identified a suspect or motive for the incident. US Attorney General Pam Bondi indicated that she had received briefings on what she described as a horrific shooting and fire at the church, with agents from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on their way to the scene. Such violence at a place of worship is heartbreaking and chilling, Bondi commented, urging others to pray for the victims of this tragedy.
