Dramatic bodycam footage released by Fox News shows the harrowing moments when police officers confronted a gunman during the Grand Blanc Township church attack in Michigan. The assailant, identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford, rammed his truck through the doors of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before opening fire with an assault rifle.

According to investigators, Sanford then set the building ablaze, engulfing the entire church in flames. Authorities confirmed that four victims were killed — two fatally shot and two found dead inside the burned structure.

Police bodycam footage captures the tense seconds as officers approached the armed suspect amid smoke and chaos before neutralizing the threat. Fire and emergency crews battled the blaze for hours, but the building was ultimately destroyed.

Local officials have described the attack as a “devastating act of violence” that has deeply shaken the Grand Blanc community. The motive remains under investigation as federal and state authorities assist in the ongoing probe.
