Police say search crews did not find any additional bodies inside a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel in Grand Blanc where a former Marine opened fire and set the building ablaze, killing four people.
Police had feared they would find more victims in the charred wreckage but now believe everyone is accounted for after Sunday’s attack.
Investigators are focusing on what motivated the attacker to ram his pickup truck into the church. Governor Gretchen Whitmer said Monday she’s talked with President Trump, who offered his condolences. She said the entire community of Grand Blanc and Michigan are there with those who were attacked.
“While we are working hard, while the good men and women who are working hard are doing so with due diligence at this juncture, speculation is unhelpful and it can be downright dangerous,” Whitmer said. “So just ask that people lower the temperature of rhetoric. Keep your loved ones close and keep this community close to your hearts.”
The suspect was killed while exchanging gunfire with two officers. Eight other people were treated at a hospital, including five with gunshot wounds.
