At least two people are dead, including the gunman, and nine others are being treated at local hospitals following a mass shooting and fire at a Grand Blanc Township church on the morning of Sunday, Sept. 28.

More people are believed to have been trapped inside the burning Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel and may have perished in the flames, said Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye.

“We do believe that we will find some additional victims,” Renye said.

The deranged madman who killed at least two people and injured nine others at a Michigan Latter-day Saints church, torching the building and opening fire on fleeing congregants and their families, has been identified as 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, The Post can confirm.

Sanford, a US Marine veteran, according to his mom’s Facebook page, rammed his Chevy Silverado truck into the building before unleashing the assault on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, armed with a semi-automatic rifle.

Zero chance Mormons would ever give up their guns. Zero.

At this point I dont even know what to say.

Grand Blanc is a normal town, if this happened in Flint I may have not been as surprised.

The killer was an ex military member?

The killer drove his truck into the front of the church and set it on fire and then opened fire on the congregation?

This  is horrific and devastating.

Soft targets

Same thing happened last night 2 hours from me at a beach in NC. Dude's a vet with serious mental issues and suffered several head injuries in combat.

Soft targets

Mormons could possibly be the softest targets in existence

[Irongrip400]

Four dead, they recovered two bodies in the church and are suspecting more. These church shootings are nuts. People just trying to worship God and some nutcase decides to kill people. Just like the cowards that target schools and kids.

I think we simply ban war. Banning is the only way.

It’s really that simple folks!

That’s how we got rid of Bhank, by banding him..

Where’s the evidence he was a leftist?  The man literally hung a Trump sign on his property

My buddy got a noise complaint at his apartment when we were in college. It wasn’t even his apartment but when he opened the door for the cops he had a few stop signs and speed limit signs on his wall that were visible and evidently it’s a felony and he got arrested for it. It was a big deal when he graduated to have that on his record. He ended up getting it knocked down somehow and got a decent federal job. Anyway, my point being, I’m surprised this dude was able to have that out there that visible to the public and never got any shit for it.

perhaps he felt threTEND BY THE CHURCH and was just defending his family

Both he and the shooter here in NC this weekend were nuts. Gotta start locking up crazy people.

Very soon they will start locking people up for radical religious views. Especially Christians and other easy prey.
