1 dead, 9 injured in shots and fire in the church of Michigan, said the police

A shooter opened fire in a church in Michigan during Sunday services before setting the building on fire, killing at least one person and injuring nine before the police pulled him on the authorities

Hundreds of people were inside the church of Jesus Christ last days in the canton of Grand Blanc, about 80 kilometers north of Detroit, when a 40-year-old man has sunk his vehicle into the front door. He then left the vehicle and started shooting, said police chief William Renye.

Police think that he “deliberately” set fire to the building on fire. After the suspect left the church, two police officers continued him and “engaged in gunshots,” said Renye. The man was killed.

The flames and smoke could be seen for hours before the fire was turned off. The first speakers then pass through the wreckage.

“We believe that we will find additional victims once we have found the area where the fire was,” said Renye.

Scott Bennett, supervisor of the canton of Grand Blanc, described the incident as “a tragedy that no one wants to meet”.

Police said they had no reason for fire or shots. Investigators are looking for the suspect’s residence in the neighboring authorities of Burton, Michigan. The authorities have not published details on the conditions of the victims.

The sheriff of the county of Genesee, Chris Swanson, said that the authorities would publish more details later.

“There are many things that happen that we are unable to communicate just because of the work that must be done,” said Swanson.

“ Epidemic of violence ” must end: Trump

The church, surrounded by a parking lot and a large lawn, is located near the residential areas and a church of Jehovah’s witnesses to Grand Blanc, Michigan. The community of around 8,000 people is just outside Flint.

The shooting occurred in the morning after Russell M. Nelson, the oldest president of the Church of Jesus Christ from the Latter-day Saints, died at 101. The next president of the faith should be Dallin H. OAKS, by protocol of the Church.

“The church is in communication with the local police while the investigation continues and we receive updates on the state of affected persons,” said Doug Anderson, spokesperson based in UTAH, in a statement.

“Places of worship are supposed to be sanctuaries of creating peace, prayer and connection. We pray for peace and healing for all those involved.”

US President Donald Trump said in a social position that he had been informed of the “horrible turn” that had taken place in church and asked prayers for the victims and their families.

He also said that this seems to be “yet another targeted attack on Christians” in the United States and added that “the epidemic of violence” must immediately end.

Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement that his heart breaks for the Grand Blanc community. “Violence everywhere in a place of worship is unacceptable,” she said.

The impact of the shooting quickly spreads to neighboring communities, including the small town that shares a name with the canton.

“Although we are two distinct government units, we are a very coherent community,” said the mayor of the city of Grand Blanc, John Creasey. “This kind of thing is painful for our whole community. I find it hard to digest everything that has happened, and my heart goes to all the affected families.”

Some striking nurses from the hospital near Henry Ford left the stake line and ran the short distance to the church to help the first stakeholders, said the president of the local section 332, Dan Glass.

“Human lives count more than our work dispute,” said Glass.
