Two Grand Blanc survivors detail year of healing after chapel attack

Public Square Magazine publishes first-person accounts from two survivors of the September 2025 attack on an LDS chapel in Grand Blanc, Michigan, describing a year of slow healing through faith. The attack left five dead and eight injured when a gunman drove through the building's entrance and fired an assault rifle during Sunday worship.

The survivors describe the violence that shattered their Sunday service and the ongoing spiritual and emotional work of recovery. Both credit their relationship with Christ and their faith community as essential to processing the trauma, while acknowledging that healing remains incomplete a year later.
