Authorities are still seeking a motive in the Sunday (US time) mass shooting a Michigan church. However, the suspected gunman Thomas Jacob Sanford’s (Jake) acquaintances seemed to have pin-pointed out a clue from the Burton city man’s past that could potentially solve the mystery at hand.
In the preliminary stages of the investigation itself, officials declared that they would be treating the former US Marine’s alleged actions at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel Grand Blanc Township as an “act of targeted violence.”
The latest harrowing addition to this year’s tragic shooting streak killed at least 4 people and injuries of 8 others. Sanford also rammed a pickup truck into the front of the church and set a fire before being fatally shot by policers at the scene.
