A Utah-based member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has raised nearly $200,000 (approximately £148,740) for the family of a man who killed four worshippers during a violent attack on a Mormon chapel in Michigan.

David Butler launched the fundraiser on the Christian platform GiveSendGo just days after the gunman, identified as Thomas 'Jake' Sanford, drove into a church building, opened fire, and set it alight before being killed by police.
