Authorities suspended the search for additional victims overnight and will resume the search in the morning. National officials, including US Attorney General Pam Bondi and US President Donald Trump, posted that they had been briefed on the shooting. CNN reported that the search inside the church has concluded for the night, with up to seven people unaccounted for. The shooting occurred the morning after Russell M Nelson, the oldest-ever president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died at 101. The next president of the Mormon church is expected to be Dallin H Oaks, per church protocol.
