Description

On Sunday morning, a quiet Michigan chapel became the scene of horror. A man crashed his truck into an LDS church, opened fire with an assault-style rifle, and set the building ablaze—leaving multiple worshippers dead and others wounded. Now investigators say explosives were found, and new details are emerging about the suspect’s background, his military past, and his disturbing comments about the church in the days leading up to the attack. In this episode, we walk through the timeline, the investigation, and the community left shattered.
