00:00I can confirm at this time that the FBI is now leading the investigation and is investigating this as an act of targeted violence.
00:12FBI crisis response teams, such as our evidence response teams, SWAT, special agent bomb technicians, victim specialists, were deployed to the scene.
00:22We also have special agents who are continuing to conduct interviews and intelligence and professional staff personnel providing research and analysis.
00:32The entire church has not been cleared because it's a total loss due to the fire.
00:36So these first responders right now, they're in recovery mode.
00:40They're trying to fight through all the debris from the fire.
00:44So, no, we have not cleared the entire church just yet.
00:49For this incident, the fire started. Basically, the suspect, all indications on this investigation are the suspect,
00:56used an accelerant of some sort, we believe gasoline, and lit the church on fire.
01:01Was it an IED that you may have used?

01:08There were, I will confirm that there were some suspected explosive devices that were located.
01:14But as far as using them to initiate the blaze, I can't say that.
