Local restaurant aids community after Michigan church attack<br /><br />Alex Eidy wasn’t at his restaurant in Grand Blanc, Michigan, when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—about a half mile down the street—was attacked and set on fire during Sunday service.<br />But after employees at his business, Taboon Middle Eastern Cuisine, reported hearing gunshots and seeing smoke, Eidy sent help for the victims to a nearby meeting point.<br />Authorities said the attacker opened fire and set the building ablaze, killing four people. Eight others were wounded, and officials said everyone else had been accounted for.<br />Right after the attack, Eidy sent a staffer to ask what people needed. The answer came back: food. He packed up meals and delivered them, then fired up the grill for another round. Others showed up with donations too—a spontaneous line of neighbors stepping in without being asked. <br /><br />REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein <br />Soundcloud: https://tmt.ph/soundcloud <br /><br />#themanilatimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#worldnews
