Police say church staff shot man with handgun and a long gun, averting a potential mass shooting
WAYNE, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan police chief said church staff stopped a man armed with a handgun and a long gun, averting a potential mass shooting at a church west of Detroit on Sunday morning. Chief Ryan Strong said parishioners at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne spotted the gunman driving recklessly and then saw him exit his vehicle wearing a tactical vest and carrying weapons. The man began firing as he approached the building during a church service and was confronted, Strong said at a news conference. 'A parishioner struck the gunman with his vehicle as the gunman shot the vehicle repeatedly,' Strong said. 'At least two staff members shot the gunman, causing the fatal wounds.' Strong said the gunman's motive remains unclear, but it appears he was suffering from a mental health crisis. The shooting happened around 11 a.m. at the church in Wayne, a city of about 17,000 people some 25 miles (40 kilometers) west of Detroit, the church's pastor, Bobby Kelly Jr., told the Detroit News earlier. Kelly said a church member ran the suspect over with his truck, giving security staff time to shoot him. Police described the suspect as a 31-year-old white male. Police said one person was shot in the leg. The pastor said no one else was hurt and about 150 people were attending the service. Worshipper Wendy Bodin said she heard a loud 'boom' and when she looked outside she saw a man sprawled out on the grass in front of the church. 'I thought he got hit or crashed his car or was hurt,' Bodin told WXYZ-TV. 'And another lady saw and pointed to me and said 'oh my, call 911!'' Wayne Police Deputy Chief Finley Carter III said earlier Sunday that it was too early to know a motive. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino tweeted that bureau 'leadership and support teams' were at the scene and helping with the investigation. Messages left by The Associated Press on Sunday on voicemail and a Facebook page for the church were not immediately returned. ___ This story has been updated to correct the capitalization of CrossePointe.

The security guard, who had been wounded in the leg, then exited the church and killed the suspect. Strong said it appears that the shooter was suffering from a mental health break at the time of the shooting. Local perspective Church parishioner Doug Blair was attending services on Sunday with it all went down, and talked to Fox 2 about what he saw. Services at the vacation bible school were just ending, the collection had just been passed, when he hear a loud noise. "Everyone looked," he said. "I'm thinking, well, somebody's doing construction out there or something, right? And then a few seconds later, like maybe five seconds later you hear another (loud noise)." Blair said that's when someone ran to the window and announced there was an "active shooter," he said. "They started having everybody run out of a sanctuary because the kids, adults, everybody's in there," he said. "I ran because it sounded like it was right outside the window where I was sitting. So I ran to the corner door. And I propped the door open just to see what was going on." He said he was trying to make sure he didn't get hit. Blair said that not far from him, was two of the church security guards. "Well, there was, the shooter … on the ground. His weapon, I think he was still firing away, it was on the ground… right before I got to the door, you could hear it was going bam, bam, bam. That's all you heard," Blair said. "When I opened the door, one of our security people was in front of him and one was on the other side of him. They were just both emptying their clips. Blair said all he could see was smoke, and that was when the police arrived and started CPR on the shooter. He said he watched as the shooter's eyes rolled back in his head, he believes that's the moment that the man died. "You could tell underneath his shirt he had a vest on," Blair said. "I could see no wounds to his head, arms, or legs. Of course, he had long shirt and pants and a thing. But he was dressed in camouflage. He looked like a military camouflage guy. He had a belt around his waist with big old pouches all around it, so he probably had extra clips on him. And he had an automatic weapon." What we don't know Police have not released any details on the shooting. It's not clear who the gunman is or what the circumstances around the shooting are. The Wayne Police Department will hold a press conference at 6 p.m. with an update. The Source Information for this story came from the Wayne Police Department as well as outside sources.
