TOWNSHIP, Mich. One of the people killed in the attack on a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Michigan was being remembered as a grandfather who adored spending time with his family.
John Bond, a Navy veteran, was among those who died Sunday morning when a Marine veteran smashed his pickup truck into the church and began shooting, according to friends organizing fundraising for the family.
Bond was well-known in the community and loved golfing and trains, said the GoFundMe posting.
Authorities have not yet released the names of the four people who died or the eight people — ages 6 to 78 — who were wounded and expected to survive. Among the wounded were a father and his young son, according to another GoFundMe post.
Federal investigators remained on the scene on Tuesday as heavy machinery began moving debris from the church, which was set ablaze and reduced to rubble during the attack in Grand Blanc Township, about 60 miles (96 kilometers) north of Detroit.
