U.S President Donald Trump has spoken about the attack at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the death of the Church’s President and Prophet, Russell M. Nelson.
In a statement, Trump said he has been informed about the incident, and the FBI is already conducting investigations
I have been briefed on the horrendous shooting that took place at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in Grand Blanc, Michigan. The FBI was immediately on scene, and will be leading the Federal Investigation, and providing full support to State and Local Officials.
Trump confirmed that the suspect is dead, but the incident seems to be another target of Christians in America.
He said the government will provide frequent updates about the incident and asked US residents to pray for the victims and their families.
“The suspect is dead, but there is still a lot to learn. This appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America. The Trump Administration will keep the Public posted, as we always do. In the meantime, pray for the victims and their families. This epidemic of violence in our country must end immediately!” Trump said.

Message to Family
