(Nexstar)-At least one person was died and nine others were wounded after he led a man across the front doors of Jesus Christ to the last days of Grand Blanc, Michigan, on Sunday. The authorities believe that there may be more victims inside the church, in which they seem to be deliberately flared up by the suspect.
Grand Planck’s police chief William Rene said at an afternoon press conference:
According to Renye, shortly before 10:30 am EST, the suspect was identified, only as a 40 -year -old man from Berton, Michigan, via the front doors of the LDS church. Then it was claimed that the man got out of the car and “fired several rounds of individuals inside the church” with an offensive rifle.
Rene explained during the press conference on Sunday, when there were hundreds of people in the church at the time, when the service was at the session.
René said ten people were transferred to the hospitals of the area with gunshot wounds, one of whom was announced. Some of those who were taken to the hospital are in critical condition from Sunday afternoon.
He was an officer in the Ministry of Natural Resources in Michigan and the Grand Planck official was the first to respond to the scene, according to René.
“They met the suspect and participated in the shooting with this particular individual, and this suspect is neutralized,” René explained. “This suspect is no longer with us.”
René did not introduce the man during the press conference on Sunday, but he said that they would carry out inspection orders and search for a motive as part of their investigation. There is no other threat to the public, according to the authorities.

Investigators have not yet been determined when the fire that immersed the church was identified or started, although preliminary information prompted the police to believe that the suspect had done so “intentionally”. On Sunday afternoon, the authorities said that the fire had been launched and searched for additional victims, which may not be able to escape from the church.
“We believe that we will find some additional victims as soon as we find the area where the fire was,” René said.
