@accuweather@elonmusk Do you think there is any way to put a sensor in cars that could send an alarm or text if a child is left in a car over a certain temperature?

There have been no new church burnings reported in Grand Blanc, Michigan in recent times. The most recent major incident involving a church in the area was a mass shooting and arson attack on September 28, 2025 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Grand Blanc Stake Center Wikipedia+1.
In that attack, the perpetrator, Thomas Jacob Sanford, rammed a pickup truck into the chapel, opened fire with an assault rifle, and set the building on fire, destroying it Wikipedia+1. The fire was deliberate, and the building was a total loss. The incident left five people dead (including the gunman) and eight injured, with multiple victims hospitalized bluewaterhealthyliving.com+1.
Since that event, there have been no reports of additional church burnings in Grand Blanc Township. Authorities and local media have not issued any new alerts or incidents matching that description. If you are concerned about safety or have seen suspicious activity, it’s best to check with local law enforcement or trusted news sources for the latest updates.
The church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, was set on fire by Thomas Jacob Sanford, a 40‑year‑old former Marine from Burton, Michigan, who carried out the attack on September 28, 2025 Wikipedia+1.
Sanford rammed his pickup truck into the front wall of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints’ Grand Blanc Stake Center during a crowded Sunday service, then exited and opened fire with an AK‑47‑style rifle. At some point, he used gasoline as an accelerant to ignite the building, which burned to the ground Wikipedia+1.
The FBI has described the attack as an “act of targeted violence” and is investigating it as a hate crime motivated by anti‑Mormon sentiment Wikipedia+1. Friends of Sanford said his animosity toward LDS Church members began after a failed relationship with a church member over a decade earlier Wikipedia.
The rampage killed four people — two by gunfire and two by smoke inhalation from the fire — and injured eight others, including victims who died later from injuries Wikipedia+1. Sanford was killed in a shootout with police in the parking lot shortly after the attack Wikipedia+1.

MARTA Fare Gate Vandalism Incident in Atlanta
A recent MARTA surveillance video shows a woman attempting to bypass a new fare gate at Lindbergh Center Station by pushing through the barrier before smashing through the glass. MARTA police say she was arrested minutes later WSB-TV Channel 2+1.
Context of the Incident
Since the new fare gates went online on June 1, 2026, MARTA police have made 40 arrests for damaging the gates and issued 29 “be on the lookout” alerts for additional suspects WSB-TV Channel 2. In addition, 183 people have been arrested or suspended for fare evasion since the new system began operation WSB-TV Channel 2.
MARTA Police Chief Scott Kreher told WSB-TV that some riders were used to pushing through older, less secure gates and were not accustomed to paying the $2.50 fare. Kreher emphasized that the new system is designed to deter fare evasion:
“We want the public to know that we’re going to charge you and we’re going to put you in jail” WSB-TV Channel 2.
Security Measures
MARTA has over 12,000 cameras monitored 24/7, with officers in the Real Time Crime Center watching live feeds from trains, buses, and stations. The agency is also deploying new technology to track individuals across multiple cameras and alert officers if a suspended or banned rider tries to enter WSB-TV Channel 2.
Physical Changes to Gates
To prevent similar incidents, MARTA is replacing the current glass design (two ¼-inch pieces fused together) with a single ½-inch solid pane, which is stronger and more secure. Red signs now warn that damaging a fare gate is a felony offense and that cameras are recording WSB-TV Channel 2.
Broader Enforcement
Kreher stressed that MARTA is taking a firm stance against fare evasion, with the threat of felony charges for those caught damaging gates or attempting to bypass them. The combination of surveillance, technology, and physical upgrades aims to make fare evasion far more difficult and costly WSB-TV Channel 2.
