"The death toll from the shooting at a Mormon church in Michigan climbed to four victims on Sunday evening, after local police said two more bodies were pulled from the wreckage of the church after it had been set on fire. Another eight people were injured in the attack, according to an update from law enforcement. The suspected killer, 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, was also killed after confronting officers."
"Sanford, according to police, plowed his Chevy truck into the church before entering and firing; hundreds of people were in attendance for Sunday service at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. A fire was also set at the church, which authorities believe Sanford started, and it appeared to be set with an accelerant of some sort, like gasoline."
Four people were killed and eight others injured in a shooting at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, after two bodies were recovered from wreckage following a fire. The suspected shooter, 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, was killed after confronting officers. Sanford drove his truck into the church before entering and opening fire while hundreds attended Sunday service. Authorities believe the fire was set with an accelerant; sources reported improvised explosive devices were found and examined by a bomb squad. Sanford served in the Iraq War from 2004 to 2008 and lived in Burton. The attack followed a fatal shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school one month earlier.
