The great lakes state christian church shot on lord's day has left wing at least two people dead and many injured. Now, Thomas Jacob Sanford has been identified as the suspect, New York Post reported.
He is believed to be an Iraq war veteran, and photos circulating online showed that his truck had ‘Iraq’ on the license plate. The gunman had driven the truck into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. He exited the vehicle and fired upon the parishioners there.
