  • Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff to honor victims and families affected by a mass killing at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township.
  • The flag order became effective immediately and will last until October 3, with flags returning to full-staff on October 4.
  • Thomas Sanford, the suspect, crashed his pickup truck into the church and opened fire, with investigators finding four improvised explosive devices in his vehicle.
  • Investigators believe Sanford poured gasoline inside the church and set the building on fire while parishioners were present.
