Horrific footage from a church service's livestream showed the moment that frantic families started running for their lives when an active shooter opened fire.
CrossPointe Church in Wayne, Michigan, was hosting its Sunday morning mass when the suspect, described by police as a white man, 31, suddenly rammed his Ford F-150 truck into the building and started shooting bullets at the terrified congregation inside.
Deputy Chief Finley Carter III with the Michigan Police Department said the suspect's identity wasn't being released at this time, and they are still investigating a motive.
The department confirmed the unnamed suspect was killed at the scene by the church's security guard. One victim was shot in the leg.
The bloodcurdling video, first published by NBC affiliate, ClickOnDetroit, showed churchgoers suddenly realize the unfolding terror and run towards the door.
Young children were seen on the stage and in the pews with their parents, before one member directed the congregation to 'get down' and run to the back of the building.
Chilling screams, 'come on, come on,' were heard as kids and adults fled for their lives, followed by a loud bang and shouting off-screen.
A spokesperson for the police department said multiple agencies are investigating the scene and have urged residents to stay away from the area.

So now this guy crashed through the church walls??
When did THAT happen?
Pride and Temptation
Former staffer of Tim Walz?
The fact they aren’t releasing his name makes me think he might be of the “Religion of Peace” and acted in retaliation for the Iran bombing.
Could be wrong, but unfortunately we are at the point when the police don’t release information it is because it is embarrassing for certain groups.
31 year old WHITE man whose name is not being released. Mm-hm. Just wondering, how close is Wayne to the mooselimb Utopia known as Dearborn? Just a question. Not suggesting anything.
Apparently, a church member who was coming to church witnessed what was going on and ran the shooter over!
Allowing church security to shoot the perp.
nice.
No its a really really whack job white guy they showed his pic on X he lives about 10 min from the church, had made threats before
Could be some lover spat.
“Former staffer of Tim Walz?”
Probably.
middle eastern men are classified as “white”.
Coulter’s Law applies.
“...how close is Wayne to the mooselimb Utopia known as Dearborn?”

This is a Protestant church and they weren’t “celebrating Mass.” Dumb journalist who doesn’t know the difference.
“””middle eastern men are classified as “white”.”””
So are certain white Hispanics.
I grew up Catholic and used the terms, "going to church," and, "going to mass," interchangeably. Between my junior and senior years of high school I attended a summer scholars program at a prestigious university in the state and was housed in a dorm with a private bedroom and only one phone in a shared common area. One of my fellow students was the son of a Baptist minister. One Sunday he had gone to attend church services and I answered the community phone. It was his dad and I told him his son had, "gone to mass."
There was a brief awkward silence on the end of the phone, and I've been far more deliberate in differentiating the two phrases since then :)
My Wyoming cousin tells me that all the ushers at his church are concealed packing just for that threat
What a world, huh??!
WTF does releasing his identity have to do with divining his motive?
Must be a member of a protected class.
Don’t you worry. He was on the radar. Authorities remain baffled.
