Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced Sunday that Los Angeles police will increase patrols around houses of worship after a deadly shooting earlier in the day during services at a Michigan church.
Five people were killed, including the shooter, and authorities say it is possible there are more.
L.A. has thousands of houses of worship, including hundreds of storefront churches, according to the USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture.
“This type of violence is reprehensible and should have no place in our country,” Bass said in a statement posted on social media.
