"Authorities say they are still searching for a motive in shooting and fire that killed at least four people at a church. A former Marine who killed at least four people and wounded eight at a church in Michigan in the northern United States hated Mormons, a White House official claims. Speaking on Monday morning on the Fox News television show Fox & Friends, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said federal authorities are still investigating Sunday's attack."
"Well, from what I understand, based on my conversations with the FBI director, all they know right now is this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon faith, Leavitt said. Leavitt said she was briefed by FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday. Authorities were still working to determine why an ex-Marine drove his pickup truck into the church in Grand Blanc Township during a service, opened fire and set the building ablaze before he died in a shootout with police."
A former Marine named Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, allegedly drove a pickup into the front doors of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township during a Sunday service, opened fire, and set the building ablaze. Hundreds of worshippers were inside when the attack occurred. Two people were shot to death at the scene, two more bodies were later recovered from the burned rubble, and eight others were wounded. The suspect died in a shootout with police. Federal authorities are investigating a possible animus toward Mormons but have not determined a definite motive.
