A gunman was “down” after shooting multiple people at a Michigan church that was also engulfed in flames on Sunday, authorities said.

The active shooter situation unfolded just before 11 a.m. local time at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, the Grand Blanc Township Police Department said in a post on social media.

“There are multiple victims and the shooter is down,” police said. “There is NO threat to the public at this time. The church is actively on fire.”

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said she was receiving briefings about the “horrific shooting” and fire at the church.

“Such violence at a place of worship is heartbreaking and chilling,” Bondi said in a post on X. “Please join me in praying for the victims of this terrible tragedy.”

Bondi said that agents with the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were heading to the scene.

Video from the scene shows dark billowing smoke rising into the air and multiple firetrucks working to extinguish the fire. Medical responders were seen rolling several gurneys toward the church while law enforcement officials in tactical gear were also on the scene.
