Michigan Mormon church shooting latest: Suspect killed by police identified as former US marine Thomas Jacob Sanford…


Four people were killed and at least eight injured after a gunman rammed his car into a Mormon church in Michigan before opening fire on the churchgoers, police said.

The shooting took place at the Church of Latter Day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, about 50 miles north of Detroit, at 10:25 a.m. Sunday, Grand Blanc police said.

The suspected gunman was Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, who was subsequently killed, Grand Blanc Township police chief William Renye said.
Officials say seven of the victims are in stable condition while one is critical.

After crashing into the church, the gunman opened fire on the hundreds of people, including children, gathered inside.

A fire broke out soon after, which police said Sanford started with an “accelerant” believed to be gasoline. Explosive devices were also found.

Authorities said they shot the gunman, a former US Marine, in the car park and that there was no ongoing threat to the public. A motive was not known, and authorities warned there could be more victims.
