"At least four people are dead and eight others have been hospitalized after a man drove his truck into a Mormon church and began shooting in Michigan yesterday morning. He then set the building on fire. An unknown number of people are unaccounted for, and authorities are searching the burnt shell of the church for more victims. The gunman, identified as 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, was killed after exchanging gunfire with two law enforcement officers."
"Sanford, a former U.S. Marine, lived in a small town about 20 minutes from the church, Michigan Public reporter Steve Carmody tells Up First. At this point in the investigation, a possible motive for the attack is unknown, as well as whether Sanford had any relationship with the church or someone who was attending the service, Carmody says. Today, more information is expected to be released about the victims and when the first funerals will be held."
