FBI deputy director Dan Bongino said the agency's support team is on the ground. "Our leadership and support teams are on the ground, at the scene, in Wayne, Michigan providing assistance and investigative support," Bongino said.

“Everybody to the back,” a woman tells panicked parishioners inside the church. “Please, everybody, come to the back. “They gotta come, c’mon,” she said, as churchgoers screamed and dashed to a back room. “Out, I don’t think is a good idea.”

The shooting came about a half hour into morning services, police said on Facebook.“Upon arrival, officers determined that a security guard for the church shot and killed the suspect,” police said. “One victim was shot in the leg.” The gunman was on his way into the church when another person tried to stop him with their truck – when the shooter opened fire at the vehicle and was shot dead by the church’s security guard, WXYZ TV News reported, citing a law enforcement source. Videos showed how the peaceful service turned into mayhem with people panicking and running for cover.
