At least one person is dead and nine others are injured after a shooting and a fire at a Mormon church in Michigan, local police say. Officials reported an active shooter incident at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, a town located 60 miles northwest of Detroit, on Sunday morning. 'There are multiple victims and the shooter is down,' police stated, though the identity of the suspect and the motive have not yet been disclosed. The Grand Blanc Township Police Department confirmed that there is no further threat to the public, and the fire has been contained.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi expressed her condolences and mentioned that she received briefings on what she described as a 'horrific shooting and fire' at the church. Federal agents with the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have been dispatched to assist local authorities. Bondi condemned the violence at a place of worship as 'heartbreaking and chilling,' urging the public to pray for the victims.

FBI Director Kash Patel labeled the incident as a 'cowardly and criminal act.' Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer also condemned the violence, stating that 'violence anywhere, especially in a place of worship, is unacceptable,' and she is monitoring the ongoing situation.
