At least four people were killed and eight others were wounded in a mass shooting at a chapel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Police identified the suspect as Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, who they said deliberately set the church on fire, sending smoke billowing from the building. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often called the Mormon church, teaches the gospel of Jesus Christ along with the revelations of Joseph Smith, a 19th-century American religious leader. “Places of worship are meant to be sanctuaries of peacemaking, prayer and connection,” the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said in a statement. In an unusual coincidence, the suspect in the North Carolina shooting, like the Michigan gunman, was a 40-year-old Marine veteran who had served in Iraq.
