Los Angeles law enforcement has increased patrols around religious institutions after the weekend’s church shooting in Michigan, authorities said.

“The Los Angeles Police Department is aware of the recent attack on a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints’ house of worship in Michigan,” LAPD Officer Kevin Terzes told The Epoch Times on Sept. 29.

“While there is no known threat locally, LAPD has directed extra patrols at similar houses of worship out of an abundance of caution.

“The department remains committed to ensuring all Angelenos can practice their faith safely and without fear.”

Following the shooting, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced taking the extra step to protect worshipers.

“This type of violence is reprehensible and should have no place in our country,” Bass posted on X. “My heart is with the families impacted and the entire Grand Blanc community.”

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department also asked people to remain vigilant and report any strange activity.

“We are actively assessing any potential threat to Los Angeles County and we have implemented increased patrol checks to critical facilities,” the sheriff’s department stated. “All patrol personnel will be briefed on the incident for situational awareness and will remain vigilant.”

The department also planned to reach out to faith-based partners to encourage prompt reporting of any suspicious activity.

“Violence has no place in our society, and we remain committed to protecting our communities in Los Angeles County,” the department stated.

Last week, authorities at the LAPD and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department announced that they would also increase patrols around Jewish institutions during the High Holy Days, which continue through Yom Kippur on Oct. 2.

The shooting occurred on Sept. 28 at a church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, a suburb of Flint, while hundreds of people were attending Sunday services, according to police.

Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, suspected of killing at least four people and injuring eight others, was shot dead by police in the parking lot of the church.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on the day after the shooting that, based on her conversation with the FBI, Sanford may have “hated people of the Mormon faith.”

Sanford allegedly drove a truck into the church before opening fire and setting the structure ablaze, according to federal investigators. Agents were searching his home on Sept. 29 and did not provide further details on the incident. It is unknown whether he was a member of the church.

President Donald Trump called for an end to an “epidemic of violence” across the nation following the shooting.
