At least four people were killed and eight others injured after a gunman opened fire at a Mormon church in Michigan and then set the building ablaze, authorities said.
The police chief of Grand Blanc Township, William Renye, said a 40-year-old male suspect drove a vehicle through the front door of the church yesterday morning, got out and began firing an assault rifle at hundreds of church attenders.
Two of the shooting victims died and eight others were hospitalised, officials said initially, while the gunman was shot dead by police. Several hours after the shooting, police reported finding at least two more bodies in the charred remains of the church, which had not yet been cleared and may contain other victims.
The shooting occurred during a particularly violent weekend in the US and marked the 324th mass shooting in the US in 2025, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
