A 31-year-old man was fatally shot by church staff after opening fire outside a suburban Michigan church during a children's Vacation Bible School performance Sunday.

One security guard was injured in the incident, which unfolded around 11 a.m. at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne. The gunman has been identified as Brian Browning, who investigators say attended the church with his mother.

Browning, who was wearing a tactical vest and carrying both an AR-15 style rifle and a handgun with more than a dozen fully loaded magazines, arrived at the church after driving erratically in the area, WXYZ reports. He didn't have any prior criminal history.
