Overview
- Law enforcement named Brian Anthony Browning, 31, of Romulus as the gunman, noting his mother is a church member and he attended services two or three times last year.
- Officials say Browning fired at the church with an AR-15-style rifle, a semi-automatic handgun and carried hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
- A deacon drove his truck into the shooter, allowing a security guard to shoot and kill him; the guard was treated for a leg wound and is now in stable condition.
- FBI agents joined local officers to execute search warrants at Browning’s home, where additional rifles, handguns and large quantities of ammunition were seized.
- Investigators report Browning had no criminal history but may have been in the grip of a mental health crisis as they continue to determine his motive.
