UPDATE: Authorities Identify Michigan Church Shooting Suspect
Gateway Pundit ^ | June 23, 2025 | Anthony Scott

Posted on 06/23/2025 9:39:52 AM PDT by Red Badger

Police have identified the gunman who opened fire outside CrossPointe Community Church on Sunday, during a morning service attended by about 150 people.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a 31-year-old man on Sunday opened fire outside the CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan.

Churchgoers first noticed the gunman driving erratically in the parking lot, and as he exited the vehicle, several parishioners noticed he was wearing a tactical vest and wielding a rifle.

Police Chief Ryan Strong, in a press conference, revealed, “A parishioner struck the gunman with his vehicle as the gunman shot the vehicle repeatedly.

Strong later noted, “At least two staff members shot the gunman, causing the fatal wounds.”

Now, authorities have revealed the 31-year-old gunman has been identified as Brian Anthony Browning, from Romulus, Michigan.

One ran over him with his car and two others shot him. The church decided to take Christ’s advice and arm themselves.

>> He dead.

He’s met his Maker, as we sometimes say. Wonder how THAT went for him. I doubt he was greeted with “Well done, good and faithful servant”.

Some trivia I just learned:
https://www.mlive.com/news/2025/06/police-identify-gunman-killed-after-opening-fire-at-michigan-church.html
The Wayne Police Department said he was armed with an AR-15-style assault rifle with more than a dozen magazines of ammunition, a semi-automatic handgun with an extended magazine, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

Browning’s mother is a member of the church, and he has attended church services two or three times over the course of the last year, officials said.

I can still see his Facebook page. He has a lot of religious posts, a bit "out there" and perhaps medicated. He seemed to like In Touch Ministries (Dr. Charles Stanley) and some good Bible verses; obviously he snapped.
