A gun opened discharge interior The christian church of saviour Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township on Sunday, killing at least one person and injuring nine. The suspect then set the building on fire, authorities confirmed. Now, neighbors said they knew the shooter as a ‘standup guy’, further adding that he was a veteran. Officials have not confirmed these accounts.
A neighbor told local news broadcasters that he spoke to a neighbor in the parking lot after the shooting. “He told me that he (suspect) was an army vet,” he added.
This comes after officials said that they received reports of a 40-year-old man who rammed a pickup truck through the front door, then got out of the vehicle and started shooting, Police Chief William Renye told reporters.
Police believe he “deliberately” set the building on fire. Officers pursued the suspect and engaged in gunfire, ultimately killing the shooter.
Meanwhile, a large plume of smoke could be seen coming out of the church. The blaze was put out. “We do believe we will find some additional victims once we find the area where the fire was,” Renye said.
