"Police said the shooter first rammed his vehicle through the front doors of the church before opening fire with an assault rifle, and then set the building on fire. Hundreds of people were in the church at that time. The attacker was killed by police in the parking lot eight minutes after the incident began, Grand Blanc Police Chief William Renye told a press conference."
""We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of prayers and concern from so many people around the world," the church posted on X."
""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," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform."
