News Wrap: At least 2 killed in shooting and fire at Michigan church

John Yang:

In Tonight's other headlines. There's been a shooting in a church in Michigan. It's left at least two people dead, several others injured and the church in flames. It happened during worship services at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blank, Michigan, which is about 50 miles north of Detroit.

The police chief said a 40-year-old man rammed his vehicle into the front door of the church, started shooting at worshippers and then set the church on fire.

William Renye, Police Chief, Grand Blanc Township:

We believe that was deliberately set by the suspect. We do believe that we will find additional victims once we have that scene secure.

John Yang:

Police said the two officers who initially responded to the scene immediately took the shooter out. His motive is still unknown.

Adams campaign had been hurt by his now dismissed federal bribery case and by liberal anger over his warm relations with President Trump.

The remaining candidates include Democratic nominee and frontrunner Zoran Mamdani, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who's running as an independent, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek is pushing back on President Trump's demand to send troops to Portland. Kotek, a Democrat, said she called Mr. Trump to say that Portland is not a war ravaged city as he says it is. Kotek said sending troops to the city would only create conflict.

Gov. Tina Kotek (D) Oregon: Oregon is our home. It is not a military target. Any deployment would be an abuse of power and a misuse of federal troops.

John Yang:

The White House hasn't laid out a timeline for deploying troops or said where they would be stationed. Kotek urged the public to stay calm and said violence will not be tolerated.
