Update:

When this story initially broke, outlets were reporting that the shooter rammed his truck into the building. Newer reports from The AP dispute this:

Police said one person was shot in the leg. [Pastor] Kelly said a church member ran the shooter over with his truck, giving the security guard time to shoot him. The person who was shot in the leg was the security guard, the pastor told the newspaper. No one else was hurt, he said.

A member of the church saw a man marching in with a gun, reportedly ran him over with his truck, then the security guard who was shot in the leg took the shooter down.

Original story:


Good guy with a gun takes down bad guy with a gun.

Reports are coming out of Wayne, Michigan, that an active shooter rammed his truck into CrossPointe Church and began opening fire on congregants.

But a church security guard put him down.

From local WXYZ:

At least one person was injured in a shooting at a Wayne church on Sunday morning, police and sources tell 7 News Detroit. The suspected shooter was reportedly killed by a security guard.

Here's the video from inside the sanctuary.

What a horrifying site. The church decked out for VBS, kids in the service, and this lunatic tries to kill them all.

Here are scenes from the aftermath outside the church:

Some report multiple injured, others one injury plus the dead shooter.

The police office for the city of Wayne confirmed on Facebook that a church security guard shot and killed the suspect.

Stay frosty, people!

All it takes is one well trained good guy with a gun to prevent a massacre.
