GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The man who killed four people in a Michigan church while setting it ablaze long harbored hatred toward the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to longtime friends, and told a stranger who showed up at his door days before the attack that Mormons were the "antichrist."
Investigators walk Tuesday in front of the remnants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Mich., where two days earlier a man rammed his vehicle into the building before opening fire and setting the building ablaze.
