A gunman drove into a church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, opening fire on worshippers and killing one person while injuring nine others, authorities said.
Police in Grand Blanc confirmed that a 40-year-old man from Burton, Michigan, rammed his vehicle into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Sunday before opening fire with an assault-style weapon. The incident left one person dead and at least nine others injured.
Hundreds of people were inside the church at the time, and the crash set the building on fire. Thick smoke billowed from the site as firefighters worked to contain the blaze. Police chief William Renye said authorities fear more victims may be found in the ruins.
The suspect died in an exchange of gunfire with officers who rushed to the scene. His identity has not yet been released.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer called the attack "unacceptable," while U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi described the violence as "heartbreaking and chilling." President Donald Trump, posting on Truth Social, called it "yet another targeted attack on Christians" and confirmed that the FBI is on the scene.
Grand Blanc, with a population of about 7,700, is located 60 miles northwest of Detroit. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is informally known as the Mormon church.
