“This afternoon (Wednesday, June 8, 2022), several shots were fired at or near the Hill Cumorah Visitors’ Center in Palmyra, New York,” church spokesman Eric Hawkins said.
Around 100 visitors were at the location when the shots started firing. Reports have stated that the shooter fired as many as two dozen rounds from a treeline, twice hitting the Hill Cumorah Visitors’ Center. No one was injured.
About 5:45 p.m., on Wednesday, troopers responded to The Hill Cumorah Visitors’ Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Manchester “after an apartment window was struck by a bullet.”
“Responding troopers and Ontario County sheriff deputies reported additional shots fired after they arrived on scene. Visitors and residents at Hill Cumorah were sheltered in place until the state police, Ontario County and Wayne County SWAT teams evacuated them to another location,” local police said.
A man was apparently target shooting from farmland to the west of the sight. Michael R. Bushart, of Fairport, New York, was arrested for investigation of reckless endangerment. He was later arraigned this morning and released after being placed on pretrial supervision, the New York State Police said.
A person said on Twitter that his daughter was serving her first day of her mission at the visitors’ center. He said inside visitors’ center all-If not most people-knelt and prayed together.
New York State Police have jurisdiction on this investigation but are not providing any information. Officers are still on the scene and a press briefing is expected at the site this evening, a trooper said.
The investigation is still going on.
