Thomas Jacob Sanford of Burton, Michigan has been identified as the suspect in the mass shooting that killed two and injured eight others at a Mormon Church Sunday, Grand Blanc Police Chief William Renye said during a Sunday evening press conference.
The incident started with a car driving into the building before a fire broke out and the suspect began shooting at the Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan around 10:25 a.m.
Renye said the 40-year-old suspect was killed in the parking lot of the church less than ten minutes after the first call came in for the shooting.
The suspect was engaged by two officers who were at the church when the incident occurred, one was a DNR officer and the other worked for Grand Blanc Police, Renye said during an earlier press conference.
Multiple agencies, including the FBI and ATF, are investigating the deadly shooting.
Of the eight surviving victims, one remains in critical condition while seven others are in stable condition, Renye said.
The identities of the injured and deceased have not yet been released.
