FBI Director Kash Patel said his agency is tracking reports of Sunday’s deadly shooting at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in Michigan.

“We are tracking reports of the horrific shooting and fire at an LDS church in Grand Blanc, Michigan. @FBI agents are on the scene to assist local authorities,” Patel said in a post on the social platform X. “Violence in a place of worship is a cowardly and criminal act. Our prayers are with the victims and their families during this terrible tragedy,” he added.

Attorney General Pam Bondi also said on X that she was “receiving briefings about what appears to be a horrific shooting and fire at an LDS church in Grand Blanc, Michigan.” “@FBI and @ATFHQ agents are en route to the scene now,” she added. “Such violence at a place of worship is heartbreaking and chilling. Please join me in praying for the victims of this terrible tragedy.”

Authorities said one person was dead and 10 others injured after a man drove through the front doors of the church. The suspect was declared dead after an exchange of gunfire with authorities, the local police chief said during a press conference Sunday afternoon.

1. Perp is dead. What help is needed?

[azureblue]

3. to find a way

to blame it on Democrats. And hide the politics of the shooter. Sounds like a radical Christian sect that hates Mormons..

13. Trump today: THIS EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY MUST END, IMMEDIATELY!'

4. Looking for the right perpetrator...

imo

[likesmountains 52]

5. Not a conspiracy nut, but wondering about retaliation for what happened in Utah.

Just kind of weird to single out an LDS church.

[Cha]

6. That's Exactly what I'm thinking about..

I don't think we have to be "nuts" to suspect magas of Any damn thing.

[The Madcap]

7. Same here

Besides, many MAGA say LDS aren't "real Christians."

[Cha]

8. Yeah, and they're a fucking Demonic Cult.

[The Madcap]

14. I am not going there.

It's their business what they believe, not mine. But I do know that many MAGA are certain they will burn in hell and wouldn't mind sending them on their way.

9. Somebody has to scrape 'antifa' on the casings.

[pamdb]

10. shooter

Yeah, I feel a lot better knowing deer-in-the-headlights Patel is in charge.

[kimbutgar]

11. Are they going to find gun cartridges with antifa markings?

3-2-1 if Patels on the scene they will be found!

[groundloop]

12. The only proper response is to admit that not everybody should be allowed to own a gun.

But no, we can't do that because it would cut into gun industry profits.

15. Trump signs on the perpetrator's house.

On his fence.

[AverageOldGuy]

16. Let's all hope . . .

. . . that all Patel does is make an occasional plain vanilla announcement and that he stays away from Michigan, keeps his mouth shut, spends his time at fancy restaurants, and leave everything else to the people who know what they are doing . . . if there are any left in the Bureau.

17. Note to Patel & Bondi: This is Magacide that Trump has unleashed on America. Your prayers are worthless.

While you fantasize about the imaginary foe of Antifa, MAGA ia the true enemy of this once great country. When you two look in the mirror, you are facing the evil that is Maga. Again, your prayers are worthless, just like the two of you.

18. Some may view LDS members as responsible for Charlie Kirk's death

...just spitballing' here.

[Montauk6]

19. Assisting...

TRANSLATION: Figuring out some way, ANY way, to pin this on a Democrat.

[ReRe]

20. Violence ANYWHERE is a criminal act.

We have a trend, alright. Just TODAY, Sunday, especially, and I would say every time a GD Republican resides in the fucking WH! The Republican Party is the party of VIOLENCE. Period. Full stop. The party of WAR and War Mongers. Always has been and always will be. Why on this earth would anyone in this country THINK of driving his car into the front door of a church on a Sunday, then getting out of it and start mowing down parishioners with his AR-15?
I am clearly at my wits end.

[Botany]

21. Bondi, "Please join me in praying for the victims of this terrible tragedy."

How about doing something about the # of guns and the incessant right wing hate talk
that is spewing out of of various platforms 24/7 that re-enforces the mental illness of
the shooter/bomber?

[IronLionZion]

22. I can't wait to see what the perp engraved onto the shell casings
