A gunman drove his vehicle into a Church of Jesus Christ of Later --day Saints building in suburban Grand Blanc, Michigan on Sept 28, 2025 before opening fire on worshippers during a large service, killing four and wounding eight others, the Christian Today website reports today (Oct. 2, 2025).
In a press conference that afternoon, Police Chief Williaam Renye said officers fatally shot the suspect, a 40--year--old man from Burton, Mich., after he rammed through the front doors of the Mormon Church during the worship service and began firing at congregants.
The gunfire sent parishioners scrambling for safety as police emergency crews rushed to the scene, about 60 miles north of Detroit. Several people remain in critical condition at local hospitals.
The gunman also started a fire inside the LDS church. The blaze quickly spread , filling the area with smoke and making it too dangerous for first respondents to conduct a full search.
Renye said the FBI has assigned more than 100 agents to assist with witness interviews , digital evidence, and the investigation into the shooter's background. Search warrants are being prepared for the suspect's home and electronic records.
Authorities have not released the gunmen's name, and no motive has been determined.
