Security Staff Avert Mass Shooting at Michigan Church

A potential mass shooting was averted at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan, when a 31-year-old man armed with a rifle and handgun opened fire outside the church during a Sunday service. The gunman, wearing a tactical vest, began shooting as he approached the church, injuring one person in the leg. A parishioner struck the gunman with a vehicle, which allowed church security staff to fatally shoot the attacker, preventing further casualties among the approximately 150 people inside. Police described the suspect as having no known connection to the church and indicated he was likely suffering from a mental health crisis, though his exact motives remain unclear. The quick and heroic actions of the parishioners and security staff were credited with saving many lives. Authorities, including the FBI, continue to investigate the incident.
