The man who attacked a Mormon church in Michigan last year sought to "divert law enforcement resources" by phoning in threats to three other nearby houses of worship before unleashing his deadly assault on LDS members, police said Tuesday. Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, was killed by responding police after killing four people in a shooting and fire on Sept. 28 at the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, on McCandlish Road and about 60 miles northwest of downtown Detroit.
