Michigan Mormon Church Shooting Explained: Far-Right Extremism, Motive & Domestic Terrorism Concerns.

On September 28, a shocking act of violence unfolded in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, when a gunman stormed a Mormon church, killing four worshippers and injuring eight others before being fatally shot by police. The suspect, identified as 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, had a history of anti-Mormon views, visible ties to Donald Trump, and a background in the U.S. Marines. Far-right extremism has been linked to the majority of domestic terror-related deaths in recent decades, far outpacing violence from the far left or other groups. This Michigan shooting highlights growing concerns about political radicalization, online hate, and targeted violence against religious communities. #MichiganShooting #DomesticTerrorism #FarRightExtremism #MormonChurch #PoliticalViolence #BreakingNews Join this channel for exclusive access and bonus content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkbwLFZhawBqK2b9gW08z3g/join Five Minute News is an Evergreen Podcast, covering politics, inequality, health and climate - delivering independent, unbiased and essential news for the US and across the world.
