…another horrendous taking of lives and ironically when they themselves were celebrating a life lost in their community and church…
An ABC News source briefed on the investigation said detectives are urgently working to determine the motive behind the shooting. Investigators are working to learn whether the church had been the target of threats in recent months and looking to see whether the timing could be connected to the death on Saturday of Russell M. Nelson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was 101 years old. Nelson died at his home in Salt Lake City, church spokesperson Candice Madsen said in a statement. Shortly after the shooting, Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on X, "I am receiving briefings about what appears to be a horrific shooting and fire at an LDS church in Grand Blanc, Michigan. @FBI and @ATFHQ agents are en route to the scene now. Such violence at a place of worship is heartbreaking and chilling. Please join me in praying for the victims of this terrible tragedy." Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said her "heart is breaking for the Grand Blanc community" in a statement on X. "Violence anywhere, especially in a place of worship, is unacceptable," she said. "I am grateful to the first responders who took action quickly. We will continue to monitor this situation and hold the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Grand Blanc close." For years, law enforcement and homeland security experts have been warning that religious institutions across the board are being targeted for acts of violence. "We can all agree that our houses of worship should be safe places for people to exercise their freedom of religion but right now we are increasingly seeing them being targets for violence -- and not just attacks any one faith," Michael Masters, who oversees security operations for the main U.S. network of Jewish schools and synagogues, told ABC News. "Attacks against religious institutions are attacks against our democracy as a whole." Masters said there has been an increase in targeted attacks across the faith-based community over the past several years. "This is something we've been working to prepare for in the Jewish community for many years. In the current threat environment, the offenders are often not distinguishing. There's the Jewish community, the Sikh community, the Annunciation church and now the LDS church in Michigan," he said.

maybe the africa massacres of christians news are only headliners breaking news by the right wing media since they are in my opinion known for as being on the right side of the news that wants to report almost everything and anything that looks like its huge big breaking news but for others it may actually be small news like its only local
or in the words of the right wing media multiverse the mainstream media only want to report that fits the narritive Last edited by emseateng2014; 28-09-2025 at 07:29 PM. |
