Overview

• Police say a man in his 40s drove a pickup into the Grand Blanc Township church, opened fire with a rifle, and is believed to have deliberately set the building ablaze.
• Authorities report at least one person dead and nine wounded, cautioning that counts could change as teams search fire-damaged areas and hospitals update conditions.
• Officers pursued the suspect outside the church and fatally shot him, and officials emphasized there is no ongoing threat to the public.
• Fire crews contained the blaze, reunification points were established for families, and victims were transported to nearby hospitals.
• Investigators searched the suspect’s residence in Burton and are reviewing evidence, including any possible but unconfirmed link to the prior day’s death of LDS president Russell M. Nelson.
