Michigan police have released the identity of the gunman who opened fire on a Sunday church service in Wayne, Michigan.

The Wayne Police Department named the now-deceased shooter as Brian Anthony Browning, 31, of Romulus, Michigan. Police have not commented on a potential motive, but they said Browning’s mother is a member of the church, and the suspect attended services two or three times over the last year.

“We are grateful for the heroic actions of the church’s staff members, who undoubtedly saved many lives and prevented a large-scale mass shooting,” Wayne Police Chief Ryan Strong said in a statement Sunday. 

Browning was armed with an AR-15-style rifle, more than a dozen fully-loaded magazines, an automatic handgun with an extended magazine and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, police said.

Police executed a search warrant at the suspect’s home and located additional rifles, several semi-automatic handguns and a “large amount of ammunition,” all of which were confiscated.

The suspect had no priors, but a preliminary investigation revealed that “he may have been suffering a mental health crisis,” police said, adding that “[t]here is no evidence to believe that this act of violence has any connection with the conflict in the Middle East.”

Police also confirmed that an online live-stream of the Sunday service showed parishioners reacting to the shooting. 

The Wayne Police Department’s investigation into the shooting is active and ongoing.
