Fire and Shooting at LDS Church in Michigan
A fire broke out at a Mormon church in Michigan while officials were responding to a reported active shooter situation inside.
Authorities are currently dealing with both the fire and the reported shooting, but they haven't given any details about casualties or the cause of the fire.
The fire comes just a day after the death of the church's leader, Russell M. Nelson, at age 101 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The church is dealing with the dual emergencies.
A fire occurred at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on Sunday.
Simultaneously, authorities responded to reports of an active shooter situation at the same location.
Emergency crews were on the scene as video showed smoke coming from the church.
Authorities have not yet confirmed casualty numbers or the cause of the fire.
The incident follows the recent death of Russell M. Nelson, leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
