A man drove his vehicle into a Michigan church and then opened fire, killing at least one person, investigators said. At least 10 people were shot, and investigators believe the gunman set fire to the church before dying in an exchange of gunfire with officers.

Investigators believe more victims may still be inside the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints building in Grand Blanc Township, Mich. The township’s police chief, William Renye, said congregants were inside attending services at the time.

The fire has been extinguished, Chief Renye told reporters. “We do believe that we will find additional victims once we have that scene secure,” he said.

Investigators did not release the identity of the gunman or describe a possible motive for the shooting at the church, about seven miles southeast of Flint. Nine people were being treated at nearby Henry Ford Genesys Hospital, a spokesperson said.
