The shooting at the church building in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on Sunday, September 28, involved people with some ties to Malad.  Dixie Hubbard reported that family members of her older brother, Keith Bolingbroke, who grew up in Malad, were injured in the shooting.  The husband of Keith’s grand-daughter was shot three times, sustaining serious injuries to his inner organs; he has had several surgeries.  This victim, a member of the bishopric, was holding his young son, who was shot in the arm and had to have surgery to get shrapnel removed. 

Four people were killed, and eight were injured in the shooting during a church meeting at a ward building of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The building was completely destroyed by fires set by the shooter before he rammed his truck into the front doors of the building and opened fire with an assault-type rifle.

A GoFundMe account was set up for the family with the goal of $15,000. The fund had received donations several times that amount as of this date.
