- On Sunday morning, Thomas Jacob Sanford, a 40-year-old ex-Marine, rammed his pickup truck into a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Township and opened fire, killing four congregants and injuring eight others before setting the building ablaze.
- Authorities launched a large investigation led by the FBI to determine Sanford's motive, focusing on possible religious bias and how much planning was involved.

- Officials confirmed no additional victims remain missing, while Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer urged patience, called for lowering rhetoric, and emphasized community unity amid ongoing investigations.
