GRAND BLANC, Mich. — A gunman drove his truck into a Michigan church where hundreds were worshiping on Sunday morning, shooting congregants before setting the building on fire, officials said.
At least four people were killed and eight others were injured in the shooting and fire, according to police. The gunman was then killed in a shootout with responding police.
The FBI is now leading the investigation, calling the attack an “act of targeted violence.”
The mass shooting comes amid a rash of violence against churches and other religious institutions and amid a series of politically motivated shootings. It also comes after a mass shooting at a waterfront bar in North Carolina left three people killed late Saturday night.
The shooting on Sunday morning was at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
