GRAND BLANC – A resident said the “horrific” shooting at a church in Grand Blanc happened right next to his home.

Joel Feick, a resident of Grand Blanc Township and a member of its Board of Trustees, spoke to Local 4 around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, 2025, just hours after the shooting.

Police said there are multiple victims at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on McCandlish Road in Grand Blanc. The shooter is dead, and the building was on fire.

“I was not home when it happened, but this happened right next to my condo,” Feick said. “My neighbors heard the gunfire. They heard the screaming, the windows. They saw the truck. It’s horrific.

Feick said he doesn’t yet have any additional details about what happened.

“I know that you can see the smoke from I-75 a couple of miles away, from this church just burning,” Feick said. “So, clearly, somebody set this church on fire. We’ve never seen anything like this.”

Feick said he’s never heard of anything like this happening in Grand Blanc since he’s been a resident.

“It’s very peaceful,” Feick said. “It’s very sad, and it’s horrific. On a Sunday, and people are at church? It’s awful.”
