Overview
- Authorities say a 40-year-old man from Burton drove through the front doors, opened fire with an assault-style rifle, and was shot and killed by responding officers.
- Police report at least 10 people transported to hospitals, including one person confirmed dead, two in critical condition, and others listed as stable.
- Fire crews contained a blaze that officials believe the attacker deliberately set, and investigators warn additional victims could be found once the building is fully searched.
- FBI and ATF personnel are assisting; the FBI has devoted significant resources to witness interviews and digital forensics as search warrants for the suspect’s home and electronic records are prepared.
- The scene is secured with no ongoing threat to the public, and reunification sites were set at a pavilion north of the church and at the Trillium Theater at Holly and McCandlish.
