The death toll from Sunday's Mormon church shooting in Michigan has risen to four, as authorities have found two more bodies and described the suspected gunman as a Marine Corps veteran and a married father of one.
Police said four victims were confirmed dead and eight others were injured after the attacker rammed a truck into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, opened fire with an assault-style rifle and set the building on fire during a Sunday morning service. The suburb is about 60 miles northwest of Detroit.
Chief William Renye of the Grand Blanc Township Police Department told the press that the slain gunman has been identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford from nearby Burton, Michigan. The motive of the attack is not immediately clear, Renye said.
Renye said that one person in the hospital is in critical condition, while the seven others are stable. Crews continued to search the fire-damaged building late into Sunday evening.
