Man Opens Fire into a Michigan Church, Deacon Runs Him Over with a Truck to Stop the Attack
A shooting at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan, on June 22 injured one person The attack ended with a deacon running the male shooter over and a church security guard fatally shooting him The church's pastor said the shooter did not appear to be a member of the congregationAfter a man opened fire on a Sunday service in Michigan, a church deacon and security guard stepped in to stop him. On the morning of June 22, there was an active shooter at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, a Detroit suburb, according to a spokesperson for the Wayne Police Department (WPD). A church security guard shot and killed the attacker before officers arrived on the scene, the spokesperson told PEOPLE. The security guard had time to take aim at the shooter — whom police identified as a 31-year-old White male — because a deacon ran him over, according to the pastor, who was on the scene. The attacker 'was run over by one of our members who saw this happening when he was coming into church," Senior Pastor Bobby Kelly Jr. told Detroit News. The deacon ran over the attacker in a Ford F-150 truck, the outlet reported. Only one person, whom Detroit News identified as a security guard, was injured in the June 22 attack. According to the local outlet, the shooter fired multiple shots into the church, but did not enter the building, where Kelly estimated that 150 people were gathered. Footage from a livestream of the service — which had more children in attendance than usual, per Kelly — shows the moment when those inside the church became aware of the attack. 'Get down,' someone can be heard saying, as people began to scramble. 'Everybody to the back. Please, everybody, come to the back,' a different church leader then states, directing the group to the rear of the building. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

In the wake of the attack, Kelly told Detroit News that CrossPointe Community Church members are supporting each other, and the children present for the June 22 attack are 'doing good.' As for the path forward, the pastor said, 'We will be convening our leadership to put a formal plan in place for the aftermath.' The pastor also said the attacker did not appear to be a member of the church. The investigation into the shooting is 'ongoing with multiple agencies on scene,' a spokesperson for the WPD told PEOPLE, adding that police will share more information in the evening of June 22.

Chris Brown Returns To The U.K. To Enter His Plea For Alleged Nightclub Assault
Chris Brown takes a break from tour to fight for his innocence! The R&B singer arrived in the United Kingdom to put in his plea on the running charge of causing bodily harm to an alleged victim in a nightclub two years ago. Chris Brown was previously taken into Manchester police custody last month in connection with the nightclub attack. The 36-year-old, alongside his team of lawyers, decided to plead not guilty to allegedly assaulting music producer Abe Diaw with a tequila bottle at a London nightclub in 2023. The process took place at the Southwark Crown Court around 10 a.m. on Friday, June 20, 2025. Decked in a blue suit and black tie corporate fit, Brown reportedly said nothing more than to enter his "not guilty" plea, identify himself, and his date of birth. His co-defendant, Dallas rapper and producer Omololu Akinlolu, also went through the same process in court. PEOPLE confirmed that adjudication will be the next stage of the case and is set to begin on July 11. The main trial is also scheduled to commence on October 26, 2026. Brown was released on a $6.7 million bail on May 21, after his arrest in the United Kingdom. Brown's arrest occurred in the early hours of May 15 in Manchester at The Lowry Hotel in the heart of the city, just hours before his appearance in court. London's Metropolitan police confirmed the arrest and reported that Brown had been seized on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. They confirmed that he was in custody at the time of their statement, which read, "A 36-year-old man was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 02:00hrs on Thursday, May 15 on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. He has been taken into custody, where he remains." The police noted that investigations into the incident that happened at Hanover Square on February 19, 2023, were being supervised by detectives of the Central West Area Basic Command Unit. His arrest happened in the middle of his ongoing "Breezy Bowl" stadium tour, which celebrates his two-decades-long career in the music industry. Brown's arrest did not go unnoticed. News that he had been taken into police custody on foreign soil sparked reactions from his fans and friends. As seen on The Blast, Odell Beckham Jr. was among the first people to speak on the development. The NFL star hopped on Instagram to share a photo of his long-time friend, accompanied by a bold declaration. "Free Breeeezyyy. The moral compass will never lie ... we waiting on ya," the wide receiver wrote on the post. Beckham and the "Warm Embrace" singer have maintained a close friendship for decades since he broke out as a superstar in the National Football League. The violent confrontation happened at Tape nightclub around 3 a.m. when Brown reportedly launched at Diaw unprovoked. According to the producer's account of events, Brown broke a liquor bottle against his head and beat him when he was on the ground, leading him to sustain serious injuries. Diaw added in the suit that he was physically hit several times, and the intensity of the attack led to his knee collapsing. He was then transported to the hospital and had to use crutches afterwards to walk. That producer proceeded to file a civil case against Brown after the attack. He sought damages of $16 million as a result of physical and financial injuries suffered during the incident. The actor somehow finds himself engrossed in one lawsuit or the other. The Blast stated that in 2021, his former housekeeper served him with a lawsuit accusing him of treating her injuries from a dog attack in his home with negligence and insensitivity. Maria Avila explained in the lawsuit that the singer's large Caucasian dog attacked her while she was on duty in his home in 2020. The dog reportedly disfigured her face and arms, prompting her to go for immediate treatment. However, she claimed the rapper, even with full knowledge of her condition, failed to take proactive steps to protect her, either financially or in other ways. She claimed that he instead instructed his staff to hide evidence by getting rid of the dog. The dog, named Hades, was then ferried to Humboldt County, but he was rescued by the Humane Society, which later euthanized him. Avila demanded a settlement of $90 million in damages from the singer to get her back on track and ease losses suffered during the attack and treatment. Which way will the hammer of justice swing for Chris Brown?
