FBI Confirms Michigan Church Shooter Acted Out of Hatred Toward Latter-day Saints

Lansing, Mich. — The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has confirmed that the man responsible for last month’s deadly attack at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Michigan was motivated by deep-seated hatred toward the faith and its members.

Special Agent in Charge Jennifer Runyan of the FBI Detroit Field Office said in a recorded statement on Friday that investigators determined the assault was a “targeted act of violence motivated by the assailant’s anti-religious beliefs against the Latter-day Saint community.”
