GRAND BLANC, Mich. — A horrific shooting at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has shocked the Grand Blanc community, leading to one death and nine injuries. Police confirmed that the incident occurred early Sunday morning at the church located about 50 miles north of Detroit. Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye assured that there is no ongoing danger to the public, noting that the suspect is also deceased.
In addition to the shooting, the church building was set ablaze, prompting heightened concern among local residents. The church is situated in a residential area near another place of worship, specifically a Jehovah's Witness church. Governor Gretchen Whitmer released a statement expressing her condolences, declaring that her heart breaks for those in the Grand Blanc community and condemning the violence that unfolded in a sacred space.
This tragedy occurred just after the death of Russell M. Nelson, the former president of the church, who passed away at the age of 101. Speculation suggests that Dallin H. Oaks is likely to succeed him as the next president, following church protocol. As the community grapples with this loss, calls for healing and support are resonating from various quarters.
