Gunman who killed four at Mormon church had Trump sign at his house

The gunman who killed at least four worshippers, wounded eight and was shot to death by police on Sunday at a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, had a sign emblazoned with the last name of Donald Trump outside his house, public records show.

The president responded to the shooting by saying “there is still a lot to learn” about the deceased suspect, identified as 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford. “This appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

Trump's comments were notably calm and measured compared with his remarks after the killing of the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk in Utah 18 days earlier, when the president rushed to blame the “radical left” for the murder. A suspect is in custody in connection with that shooting and faces charges that carry the death penalty.
