Shooter Kills 1, Injures 9 in Horrific Michigan Church Assault

On September 28, 2025, a tragic incident unfolded at a Mormon church in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Around 10:15 AM, a 40-year-old man from the nearby city of Burton drove his vehicle through the front doors of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and opened fire on the congregation inside.

The attack resulted in the death of one person, while 9 others sustained gunshot wounds and were transported to local hospitals. During the incident, the church also became engulfed in flames, leading authorities to believe there may be additional victims trapped inside the burning building.

The shooter, whose identity has been confirmed by the Grand Blanc Township Police Department, was found deceased at the scene. Authorities are still investigating the motive behind this horrific assault on a place of worship.

The community of Grand Blanc, a suburb of Flint, Michigan, is reeling from the tragedy. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has expressed her condolences and stated that violence in any setting, especially a church, is unacceptable. Federal agencies, including the FBI and ATF, have also responded to the scene to assist with the investigation.

This devastating incident comes just a day after the passing of Russell M. Nelson, the 101-year-old president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The timing of the attack has only added to the sorrow felt by the local Mormon community.
