The quick thinking of a deacon and a security guard stopped a church shooting just after it started in a Detroit suburb this morning (June 22).
After the suspect fired shots into CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, a deacon ran him over with his truck, then the church’s security guard fatally shot him. One person inside the church had a gunshot wound to the leg.
“The VBS kids were up on stage giving the little songs that they learned, and I had to use the restroom and I was on my cell phone,” Wendy Bodin, who was there at the time of the shooting, told WXYZ Channel 7 ABC Detroit. “I went out to the front of the building where the grass is, and I saw a man on the ground. I heard a big Boom and I thought he got hit or crashed his car or was hurt, and another lady saw and pointed to me and said ‘oh my, call 911!'”
