Police were increasing patrols around religious institutions in Los Angeles Sunday following a fatal attack on a Mormon church in Michigan.

“The reports of a mass shooting and fire during Sunday services at an LDS church in Michigan are devastating. Out of an abundance of caution, @LAPDHQ will increase patrols at places of worship across Los Angeles,” Mayor Karen Bass announced Sunday.

“This type of violence is reprehensible and should have no place in our country. My heart is with the families impacted and the entire Grand Blanc community,” she added.
