The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints broke ground Monday on a new stake center in Grand Blanc, Michigan, one year after a deadly attack at the congregation's previous chapel, CBS News reports.
A gunman killed one member and wounded two others during Sunday services in February 2025 before being shot by a concealed-carry permit holder. The new building will replace the chapel where the shooting occurred.
The groundbreaking ceremony drew community members and church leaders marking both the tragedy and the year of healing that followed.
