GRAND BLANC, Mich. (AP) — Police say one person was killed and nine injured in a shooting at a Mormon church in Michigan, and the suspect is also dead. The shooting happened Sunday at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, about 50 miles north of Detroit, Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye told reporters. The church was also set ablaze. Police said there is no ongoing threat to the public. Authorities have not released details on the surviving victims’ conditions. The church, circled by a parking lot and a large lawn, is located near residential areas and a Jehovah’s Witness church in Grand Blanc. The community of roughly 8,000 people is just outside Flint. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement that her heart is breaking for the Grand Blanc community. “Violence anywhere especially in a place of worship, is unacceptable,” she said. The shooting occurred the morning after Russell M. Nelson, the oldest-ever president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died at 101. The next president of the faith, known widely as the Mormon church, is expected to be Dallin H. Oaks, per church protocol. (Photo: AP)

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that Pittsburgh’s so-called jock tax discriminates against visiting professional athletes and performers. The city has been charging them a 3% tax for income earned at publicly funded stadiums, while charging resident athletes 1% plus a 2 % school tax. The city says the net effect is the same, but the high court disagreed Thursday. The court notes that state lawmakers authorized the tax in the early 2000s to boost city finances, not to help pay for the stadiums. The city had collected about $2.6 million from the tax so far this year.
