Shooting at Michigan Mormon church kills one, wounds nine

Trump condemns ‘targeted attack on Christians’ — RT World News

A shooting at a Mormon church in Michigan on Sunday has left one person dead and nine others wounded. The incident occurred at a busy Latter Day Saints church in Grand Blanc, where a 40-year-old male suspect drove his car through the front doors and opened fire on the congregation with an assault rifle. The suspect was killed in a firefight with responding officers.

According to Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye, the shooting took place less than half an hour after the service began, at around 10:25am. Ten gunshot victims were transported to local hospitals, including one who was deceased. A fire also occurred at the scene, which authorities believe was deliberately set by the suspect.

US President Donald Trump has condemned the attack, calling it a “targeted attack on Christians” and part of an “epidemic of violence” in the US. In a statement, Trump said the attack was unacceptable and emphasized the need for an end to violence in the country.

The incident is currently under investigation, and authorities expect to find more victims once the scene is cleared. Drone footage from earlier in the day showed the church’s roof consumed by flames.

This shooting comes just days after another incident in Dallas, where a shooting occurred at an ICE facility. Trump has promised to crack down on what he calls “radical left terrorism” and plans to sign an Executive Order to dismantle domestic terrorism networks.

The shooting at the Mormon church in Michigan is a serious incident that highlights the need for increased safety measures and a thorough investigation into the motives behind the attack. As the investigation continues, more information is expected to emerge about the suspect and the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
