A gunman was shot dead by a security guard after opening fire during a Sunday service at Crosspointe Community Church in Wayne, a suburb of Detroit, leaving one person injured, police said.

The incident took place around 11 am with about 150 people in attendance when the attacker began shooting, according to Pastor Bobby Kelly Jr. Authorities confirmed that one person was shot in the leg.

Pastor Kelly said the injured person was the church security guard, and that no other congregants were hurt. He added that a quick-thinking worshipper used his car to ram the gunman, allowing the guard to intervene and shoot the attacker.

Police identified the shooter as a 31-year-old White man.

As of Sunday, attempts by the Associated Press to reach the Wayne Police Department, the church, or its official social media accounts for further information were unsuccessful.
