Police: 40-Year-Old Man Drove into Church, Opened Fire, Was Shot Dead by Officers
During a Sunday afternoon press conference, police said the Michigan church attacker drove a vehicle into the church building, opened fire, and was shot dead by officers.
UPDATE: During a Sunday night press conference, Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye indicated that two more bodies had been discovered in the burned church, bringing the total number of deaths to four.
Breitbart News reported that the shooter is down and that the church — the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc — was ablaze.
During the press conference, Grand Blanc Township police indicated the attacker “rammed the vehicle through the front door” of the church, then got out of the vehicle and began shooting. A church service was taking place — “there were hundreds of people in the church” — at the time of the attack.

We are tracking reports of the horrific shooting and fire at an LDS church in Grand Blanc, Michigan. @FBI agents are on the scene to assist local authorities.
Violence in a place of worship is a cowardly and criminal act. Our prayers are with the victims and their families…
