Victims\u2019 ages ranged from six to 78 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Sanford allegedly first filled a five-gallon gas can at a local station before calling in bomb threats from his cell phone to a number of locations in the morning of the attack.<\/p>\n<p>He then proceeded to the church, located at 4285 McCandlish Road, and began the attack.<\/p>\n<p>Sanford drove into the south side of the building and opened fire with an AK47 assault rifle.<\/p>\n<p>He was equipped with that rifle, an SKS assault rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun, according to the memorandum.<\/p>\n<p>Sanford shot several victims while approaching the church entrance and then inside the building, before returning to his vehicle to retrieve the gas can and set the building on fire.<\/p>\n<p>Two police officers each responded to the scene independently.<\/p>\n<p>One person attending the church service fired back at Sanford with a .38 caliber revolver, according to the memorandum. Sanford fired back and struck the person three times in the torso.<\/p>\n<p>The first police officer who responded was on patrol in Grand Blanc Township. He identified Sanford, who wore all green and carried a long gun in one hand and a gas can in the other, and ordered him to stop.<\/p>\n<p>The officer reencountered Sanford in the parking lot to the north of the church, where he commanded the man drop his gun and get on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Sanford eventually walked toward the officer with his gun up, yelling \u201cshoot me,\u201d according to the memorandum.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, Sanford was flanked by a second officer and an armed civilian from the congregation from the west.<\/p>\n<p>Sanford lowered his assault rifle to a 45-degree angle as he continued to walk toward the men. The officers fired at Sanford, dropping him to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange was shown in a video of the shooting, which was displayed by the Grand Blanc Township Police Department in the aftermath.<\/p>\n<p>Both officers indicated they were in fear that Sanford was going to fire his rifle at them, according to the memorandum.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting was not clearly caught on video, but it was corroborated by eyewitness testimony, audio from the body-worn camera video and a surveillance video from the building next door.<\/p>\n<p>The first officer who arrived put on a \u201cplate carrier\u201d ballistic vest that obstructed the body-worn camera, according to the memorandum.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a92026 Advance Local Media LLC.
