A shooting at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints building in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on Sunday morning left several people with fatal injuries.
The building was set to be engulfed in flames after the incident, as authorities urged citizens to steer clear of the area that was a huge security threat.
Emergency services were seen rushing to the Church following the horrific incident after reports of shots being fired and flames inside the church.
The police in Grand Blanc Township, about seven miles southeast of Flint, mentioned on social media that the shooter was down and that there was no ongoing threat to the public. The nature and extent of the injuries at the church, which has a 10 am Sunday Service, were not clear at the moment.
Videos were seen circulating online that showed smoke billowing above the tree line near the site of the church. Further footage from the scene revealed the church blaze, with reports suggesting how the roof began to cave in.
The cops confirmed that several victims are present, but didn’t mention more details on their condition at the moment. A person was seen being taken on a stretcher and taken to a nearby ambulance after the attack at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints in Grand Blanc, which is located north of Detroit.
