CHURCH SECURITY TEAM PREVENTS A MASSACRE

On Sunday, June 22, 2025, a horrifying scenario unfolded at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan, where a heavily armed gunman launched an attack during a morning church service. This incident clearly underscores the urgent and critical need for well-trained voluntary security teams in every church service.

Note; this wasn’t a mega church with dozens of paid police officers hired as security personnel. This was a staff of voluntary church members who gave of their time and trained for such an event. These were everyday church members who answered the call and saved countless lives! It’s estimated there were approximately 150 people in the sanctuary at the time of the shooting incident.

A Heavily Armed Threat

The assailant, identified as 31-year-old Brian Anthony Browning of Romulus, Michigan, arrived driving erratically and immediately opened fire outside the church, where approximately 150 people, including many families with children present for a Vacation Bible School program, were gathered. Browning was not just armed; he was equipped for mass slaughter. He wore a tactical vest and carried a semi-automatic rifle, a semi-automatic handgun and more than a dozen fully loaded magazines, along with hundreds of additional rounds of ammunition. This was a perpetrator prepared to inflict maximum casualties on unsuspecting church goers.

The Critical Role of a Trained Security Team

The presence of a highly trained voluntary church security team proved to be the decisive factor in preventing a massacre. As gunshots erupted, the team immediately implemented their active shooter protocols. They locked down the building's doors, denying the shooter entry into the packed sanctuary.

Crucially, armed security personnel, who were trained volunteers, immediately engaged the attacker outside the front entrance. Their swift and decisive action, coupled with a brave church member using his pickup truck to strike the gunman, created a critical window of opportunity. The security team exchanged gunfire with Browning, ultimately neutralizing him. One security guard was shot in the leg but survived, a testament to their continued resolve even while wounded.

“Their actions prevented dozens of people from being murdered,” Chief Strong said plainly. CrossPointe’s security team, composed of volunteer church members, had a plan for such a scenario and executed it under pressure, which officials believe made all the difference.

This incident vividly demonstrates that in the face of such a deadly and well-equipped threat, every second counts. Without the immediate, well trained , armed response of CrossPointe's security team, this attacker, armed to the teeth and prepared for extensive violence, could have easily breached the church and unleashed unthinkable devastation.

The outcome at CrossPointe Community Church is a stark reminder that proactive preparedness and the presence of dedicated, trained security personnel are not merely advisable—they are absolutely essential for protecting lives in the face of such a sinister intent.

LADIES Look, Listen, Be aware!

Let me share with you a story from one of my lady students, I’ll change her name to Susan. Susan contacted me back in February wanting to begin her journey into the world of safe gun ownership and to conceal carry for personal protection. She and her husband attended a training course called NRA First Steps Pistol.
https://www.nrainstructors.org/SearchResults.aspx?State=n&zip=30538&radius=10.1&id=9&bsa=&youth=&women=

After our first training, Susan came to me with the realization that just owning a firearm wasn’t enough. There’s a saying in training “You don’t know, what you don’t know” which means someone doesn’t have the knowledge or skills to spot their own mistakes or knowledge gaps. Susan thirsted for more knowledge and skill development.

In a training session I always try to thoroughly cover the subject matter at hand, but I also give students breadcrumbs to help lead them to the next level of their training. Now jump ahead a couple of months to the next step in Susan’s training NRA Basic Pistol Shooting.
https://www.nrainstructors.org/SearchResults.aspx?State=n&zip=30538&radius=10.1&id=56&bsa=&youth=&women=
Each course builds knowledge upon knowledge, skill upon skill, I left her with this breadcrumb, a rudimentary understanding of “Situational Awareness”.

We all know that there isn’t any region that is crime free. Susan indicated she wanted to be in control of her own personal protection. Even in some of our safest areas, we’ve seen upticks in personal assaults, robbery, carjackings or drug related crimes.

I think I’ll let Susan tell her short story in her own words;

“So, I’ve been practicing situational awareness since we talked - car in the garage (to form habit), Home Depot (where everyone has big trucks and parks very close) and when I leave the restaurant at night.

Last night, I paused in the doorway and scanned the parking lot. Didn’t see anyone and started to walk towards my car. I sensed or caught movement in my peripheral vision and there was someone off to my right walking in the empty lot.

I was alone and it’s unusual for someone to be there. I just went back inside and waited a few beats, watching until the person cleared and then headed back out.

Anyhoo…no big deal and no real threat, but the focus certainly is increasing my vigilance! Thanks for the coaching.”

Crisis avoided? What if she had continued to walk toward her car unaware of a person walking toward her – assault, r**e, robbery, carjacking – who knows? I know something wonderful; she got home safe and sound. All because of her newfound awareness!

Be safe and train hard
