“Shoot him,” one officer is heard yelling. “Drop the gun now!”
Several shots then ring out, and Sandford is seen lying lifeless on the ground.
Grand Blanc Police Chief William Renye told the outlet that the footage shows exactly “what law enforcement is trained to do.”
Police arrived at the scene less than a minute after Sanford rammed his pickup truck into the church and opened fire during a packed service before setting fire to the building.
Four people were killed and eight others wounded during the shocking assault, police said.
Sanford, a former US Marine who served in Iraq, had developed an unhinged obsession with the Mormon faith and was very vocal about his feelings, according to friends and authorities.
