Michigan Church Shooting: Latest Details From Authorities

At least one person was killed and nine others wounded in a shooting Sunday at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, police said.

Authorities reported that the gunman slammed into the church with a mid-size truck during a service, opened fire, and then set a blaze that engulfed the building.

Police said that more victims may be found once it is safe to re-enter the area.

Grand Blanc Township Police Chief said authorities will execute a search warrant at the suspect's residence and comb through cell records to "find out if there was a motive."

The FBI has allocated "100 agents to the area" to help get statements from witnesses.

Trump calls the incident a "yet another targeted attack on Christians." Top Trump officials have released statements.
