Security guard kills gunman, thwarts attack on Michigan church, say police
An alleged active shooter intent on attacking a Michigan church on Sunday was shot and killed by a security guard, authorities said. The shooting unfolded around 11:15 a.m. local time at the CrossPointe Community Church in the Detroit suburb of Wayne, according to the Wayne Police Department. Law enforcement sources said the suspect drove his Nissan truck into the church and opened fire, ABC Detroit affiliate WXYZ reported. The Wayne Police Department confirmed on Facebook that the suspect was shot and killed by a security guard at the church. At least one victim was shot in the leg during the attack, according to police. A bomb-sniffing dog was brought to the scene by the Michigan State Police and a police bomb squad was also brought to the scene, according to officials, but there was no immediate confirmation from police that explosives were involved in the incident. As police investigated a motive for the attack, the FBI said it was sending agents to Wayne to help in the investigation. "Our leadership and support teams are on the ground, at the scene, in Wayne, Michigan providing assistance and investigative support," FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said in a statement. The church shooting came during a heightened threat environment across the country following the U.S. attack overnight in Iran that destroyed or severely degraded three of Iran's nuclear facilities, according to White House officials. Acknowledging the heightened threat environment, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement that "it is our duty to keep the nation safe and informed, especially during times of conflict." "The ongoing Israel-Iran conflict brings the possibility of increased threat to the homeland in the form of possible cyberattacks, acts of violence, and antisemitic hate crime," Noem said. The attack in Wayne came in the wake of a public bulletin the Department of Homeland Security issued after the U.S. strikes in Iran, warning that "low-level cyber attacks" against U.S. targets "are likely" and that extremists inside the U.S. would be more likely to turn to violence if Iranian leadership calls for such retaliation. The bulletin further urges the public to report any suspicious activity. It was not immediately known if the church attack has any connection to the U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. The attack occurred about a half-hour after Sunday-morning services at CrossPointe Community Church started, according to police. Officers arriving at the scene quickly evacuated the church after learning that a security guard stopped the attack by shooting and killing the suspect, according to police. The suspect's name was not immediately released. The security guard was also not immediately identified by authorities.

Multi-vehicle crash causes a child to be ejected and I-64 closed for hours in Newport News
NEWPORT NEWS — A Friday night multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 64 caused hours of lane closures and many serious injuries, including those to a five-year-old who was ejected from a head-on collision, Virginia State Police said. Both eastbound and westbound lanes between mile markers 249 and 250 were closed for over four hours, state police said in a statement. That's near the Lee Hall reservoir and the Fort Eustis Boulevard exits. From a preliminary investigation, authorities found that the 45-year-old Massachusetts driver of a speeding Dodge Durango traveling eastbound hit the rear of a Hyundai Sonata, causing the Sonata to lose control and run off the roadway, striking a guardrail before stopping on the road's shoulder and in the westbound lanes. After hitting the Sonata, the Durango crossed the median of the highway and side-swiped a Toyota Tacoma, troopers said. The Durango continued speeding in the wrong direction on the westbound lanes until it hit a Nissan Altima head-on, stopping both vehicles. The Altima was being driven by a 39-year-old Yorktown driver and was carrying an improperly restrained 5-year-old, state police said, who was ejected from the Altima upon the impact. The child suffered life-threatening injuries, authorities said. All involved parties aside from the driver of the Tacoma were transported for medical treatment. All closed lanes were reopened at about 1:20 a.m. An investigation of the crash is ongoing. State police said that speed was a contributing factor in the crash and charges are pending. No additional details were immediately available.

Unlicensed driver accused of driving more than 90 mph on I-84, taking off from trooper
A Hartford man is accused of driving more than 90 mph and taking off from a state trooper who tried to pull him over on Interstate 84 in East Hartford last weekend. The driver was seen on I-84 East prior to Exit 58 just before 11 p.m. allegedly driving erratically in a red Hyundai Elantra going across all three lanes, according to Connecticut State Police. A trooper allegedly clocked his speed at more than 90 mph and initiated a traffic stop, state police said. The driver did not stop and took Exit 58 onto Roberts Street, according to state police. As he approached the intersection of Brookside Lane, the Hyundai driver nearly collided with other vehicles, state police said. The trooper abandoned the traffic stop but was able to get the vehicle's license plate information. Upon going to the registered owner's home in Manchester, the trooper spoke to a family member who said the owner was not home but was unlikely to have been the person who fled from police. The family member put police in touch with the owner by phone and they agreed to meet with investigators. State police said it was discovered that the owner was not driving the Hyundai during the incident. Just before 12:20 a.m., the owner arrived at the Troop H barracks with a man identified as 24-year-old Ryan Williams of Hartford. State police claimed that Williams admitted to driving the Hyundai. It was also found that he did not have a driver's license. Williams was arrested on charges of reckless driving, disobeying signal of an officer, engaging police in pursuit, improper passing/unsafe distance/cutting in, failure to drive in proper lane on a limited access highway, operating a motor vehicle without a license and interfering with an officer/resisting. He was released on a $2,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in Manchester Superior Court on July 11.
