A heavily armed suspect attempted to carry out a mass shooting at a church in Wayne, Michigan, but was stopped by a quick-thinking armed parishioner. Authorities believe the suspect may have been experiencing a mental health crisis.

WAYNE, MI (3-minute read) — A heavily armed man attempted to launch a mass shooting during a Sunday service at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan, but was stopped by fast-acting church members and security personnel before he could enter the building.

Authorities have identified the suspect, but in accordance with our editorial policy, we do not publish the names or photos of mass shooting suspects to avoid granting them notoriety.

The suspect arrived at the church around 11:00 a.m., dressed in camouflage and a tactical vest, and began unloading firearms from a silver SUV. Police say he carried an AR-15-style rifle, a semi-automatic handgun with an extended magazine, over a dozen loaded magazines, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

A witness saw the suspect driving erratically in the church parking lot just before he exited the vehicle and approached the building. Within minutes, 911 calls flooded in reporting gunfire. A parishioner in a pickup truck intervened by striking the suspect with the vehicle outside the church, delaying his movement.

Church security, already on alert, quickly locked the front doors and engaged the suspect in a firefight outside the main entrance. One member of the security team fatally shot the suspect. First responders arrived and attempted life-saving measures, but the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

Only one individual was injured during the incident—a parishioner who suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the leg. That person underwent surgery and is reported to be in stable condition.

Police searched the suspect’s home and recovered additional firearms and large quantities of ammunition. Investigators say the suspect had no criminal history but may have been undergoing a mental health crisis.

The church service, which was being live-streamed online, captured parishioners reacting in shock as the situation unfolded. The Wayne Police Department continues to investigate the incident.

Church Security and Civilian Response Prevent Mass Tragedy

This incident reminds us about the importance of trained church security teams and situational awareness. Many religious institutions have begun to implement volunteer security groups, often made up of concealed carry permit holders or individuals with prior military or law enforcement experience. When seconds count, trained civilians can make the difference between tragedy and safety.

Safety Tip: If you carry a firearm for self-defense, always train in realistic scenarios and know your environment—including entry and exit points. In houses of worship, coordination and communication with a security team can save lives.
