Hospital Says 3 Still Hospitalized as FBI Probes Targeted Attack on Michigan LDS Church

Hospital leaders said a resident inside the chapel alerted the ER first, with colleagues among the wounded.

Overview

  • The FBI is leading an active investigation, calling the Grand Blanc Township assault an act of targeted violence, with more than 100 personnel assisting and no official motive announced.
  • Henry Ford Genesys officials reported three patients remain hospitalized, with two in fair condition and one improving, after treating multiple victims of gunfire and smoke inhalation.
  • Doctors recounted an all-hands response as patients arrived one after another, noting at least two of their own medical residents were injured and that a resident’s call first notified the ER.
  • Communities across Genesee County held prayer services and vigils, and local partners opened a Family Assistance Center to provide mental-health and crisis support resources.
  • Fundraising has surged for victims, while an unusual GiveSendGo campaign organized by a Latter-day Saint in Utah for the shooter’s widow and child has surpassed $225,000, drawing messages of compassion from donors.
