A would-be mass shooter wearing tactical gear and carrying multiple firearms approached a Sunday service at Cross Point Community Church in Wayne, Michigan—but never made it through the front doors.
Thanks to armed citizens and a vigilant security guard, a potential tragedy became another powerful example of why the Second Amendment matters.
The attacker, identified as a 31-year-old male, exited his vehicle mid-service, armed with a long gun and a handgun. Chaos erupted. Families scrambled for safety. But before police even arrived, action was already being taken.
According to Colion Noir in a video breakdown posted to his YouTube channel, the first person to stop the threat wasn’t wearing a badge—it was a churchgoer who rammed the shooter with a vehicle.

Then, as the gunman tried to recover, a church security guard shot and killed him. Backup came from armed staff members inside, who were neither law enforcement nor military—just ordinary, trained citizens ready to protect their community.
Noir emphasized the layered defense the church had built over the years: professional security, trained staff, and a commitment to being ready for the worst. And that plan worked. These churchgoers stopped a would-be mass shooter!
“Not a red flag law, not a background check, not the police—a good guy with a gun,” Noir said.
The incident, partially caught on livestream, showed the chaos as parishioners ducked and fled. But more importantly, it showed what preparedness looks like. This wasn’t vigilante justice. It was self-defense by design.
As Noir pointed out, this case doesn’t fit the anti-gun narrative. No badge, no SWAT team, no waiting. Just citizens doing what needed to be done.
“It’s not about the gun,” he said, “it’s about the will to act.”
