Multiple people shot at Michigan Mormon church Sunday morning: police
September 28, 2025
Multiple people have been shot at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Michigan on Sunday morning, according to police.
The Grand Blanc Township Police Department said the shooter is down and there is no active threat to the public.
Police have not specified the condition of the victims, nor released their names.
A fire at the church has since been contained, but people are still asked to avoid the area.
A reunification place for people off-site is the Trillium Theater.
In a video posted to Facebook , Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson said the area had been evacuated and promised more updates later. A press conference is set for 1 p.m. EST.
“This is a dynamic scene,” he said.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer expressed condolences in a post to X and said, “violence anywhere, especially in a place of worship, is unacceptable.”

Grand Blanc is a suburb of Flint, about 100 kilometres northwest of Detroit.
The shooting comes a day after Russell M. Nelson, the parent church’s oldest-ever president, died at 101. He’s expected to be replaced by 93-year-old Dallin H. Oaks, the current longest-serving apostle.
On X, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said she is receiving updates from the scene and that both Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents were en route to assist local authorities.
“Such violence at a place of worship is heartbreaking and chilling,” she wrote.
FBI Director Kash Patel posted that “violence in a place of worship is a cowardly and criminal act.”
More to come.
