Two additional bodies were recovered from a Mormon church in Michigan that a gunman attacked and set aflame on Sunday, police say, bringing the total death toll to four.

Grand Blanc Police Chief William Renye tells a press conference that “a couple additional bodies” had been recovered during an ongoing search through debris at the burned-down church. “So that makes our total victim count up to four victims,” he says.
