Grand Blanc law enforcement has identified the suspect in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church shooting and fire as a 40-year-old man from Burton, Michigan.

The local police said a 40-year-old male ran his truck into the church, then exited his vehicle and opened fire with an assault rifle inside a church where hundreds of people were attending services.  The suspect then set fire to the church.

At least one person is confirmed dead, but more victims are expected as the search continues through the burned-out building.  Two police officers initially responded and engaged the gunman preventing more casualties.  The gunman is dead.

The FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), local and state law enforcement responded.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “I have been briefed on the horrendous shooting that took place at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in Grand Blanc, Michigan. The FBI was immediately on scene, and will be leading the Federal Investigation, and providing full support to State and Local Officials.

The suspect is dead, but there is still a lot to learn. This appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America. The Trump Administration will keep the Public posted, as we always do. In the meantime, PRAY for the victims, and their families. THIS EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY MUST END, IMMEDIATELY!” [source]
