Photographer Finds Hope in Burned Latter-Day Saint Church

As police in Grand Blanc, Michigan, concluded their investigation into the tragic shooting and fire that claimed the lives of four people during a Sunday service at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they called upon a local photographer to capture the scene’s profound aftermath.

Stephanie VanWagoner was struck by what the flames had spared.

“What really stood out to me is what was untouched,” she said in an interview from the police station.
