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.

ARMED GUNMAN SHOT DEAD AFTER OPENING FIRE AT SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICE

Police received multiple 911 calls from CrossPointe Community Church on Sunday at 11:06 a.m. reporting a White male suspect, wearing camouflage clothing and a tactical vest, getting guns out of his car to go into the church. 

A witness told officials he saw the suspect driving a silver SUV "erratically in the church parking lot before he parked the vehicle on the west side of the building," police said in a press release.

Minutes later, police received multiple 911 calls reporting that shots had been fired, and a parishioner driving a pickup truck struck the alleged gunman in the parking lot. 

A church security guard then neutralized the shooter, according to police.

"The church security team was alerted by the [gunfire] and reacted quickly to engage the suspect outside the main entrance doors of the church," police said. "The security team locked the front doors and exchanged [gunfire] with the suspect, who was shot and killed by a member of the security team. Officers arrived on scene and performed life-saving measures, but the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene by Wayne Fire Rescue."

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.

JERUSALEM — Deceased Hamas terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar envisioned that his invasion of Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 would prompt his allies Hezbollah and all the Iran-backed proxies to launch a full-scale war against America’s key Middle East ally, Israel.

The long-stated goal of the troika of terrorist regimes — Hamas, Iran and Hezbollah — was the end of the Jewish state.

What Sinwar dreamed about on October 7, however, has turned into a series of devastating unintended consequences for Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the regime's "Axis of Resistance."

TRUMP ADDRESSES NATION ON 'SPECTACULAR MILITARY SUCCESS' OF US STRIKES ON IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIES

President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran’s core nuclear facilities on Saturday was perhaps the most telling example of Sinwar’s plan being turned upside down. 

A leading Israeli security expert from the Israel Alma Research and Education Center, Sarit Zehavi, told Fox News Digital, "In general, if you talk about the October 7 effect, this is truly a huge change in the Middle East." 

The running list of setbacks for the enemies of America and Israel starts with the degradation of Hamas in 2024.

Israel executed a James Bond-style operation on July 31, 2024, resulting in the elimination of Ismail Haniyeh in Iran, the Palestinian terrorist who oversaw the Hamas Political Bureau. Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is currently hiding in a bunker, pledged retaliation. 

In October 2024, Israel killed Hamas’ Gaza-based leader Sinwar. Just last month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his country’s forces had eliminated Sinwar’s brother, Mohammed, a key terrorist responsible for the construction of the massive terror tunnel system on Israel’s south border.

TRUMP PROMISES TO RESPOND WITH 'FULL STRENGTH AND MIGHT' OF US MILITARY IF IRAN ATTACKS AMERICA

The Israel Defense Forces' (IDF's) targeted killing of Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in September 2024 was part and parcel of the Jewish state's successful campaign to decapitate the leadership of the terrorist group in Beirut.

Just days before Nasrallah’s demise, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, Mossad, activated a hack attack that caused explosions of handheld pagers carried by thousands of members of Hezbollah.

In December, Fox News Digital exclusively reported on Hezbollah’s secret plan to invade Israel.

Israel’s decimation of a significant part of Hezbollah seems to have generated deterrence. Hezbollah has not entered the current full-blown war between Israel and Iran’s regime. Tehran expected Hezbollah’s intervention in a war with the Jewish state.

ISRAEL SAYS IT KILLED IRAN'S 'SENIOR-MOST MILITARY OFFICIAL'

Zehavi said while Sinwar perhaps made a tactical decision to invade, she cautioned about giving too much credit to Sinwar. 

She noted Mohammed Said Izadil, who Israel reportedly eliminated on Saturday and who oversaw the Palestinian affairs branch in the Quds Force, the branch of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, was "deeply involved" in the planning of the invasion on October 7.  Zehavi noted that documents found by the IDF in Gaza revealed that Izadil knew in advance about Hamas’ intent to invade Israel on October 7.

Zehavi, who is an IDF lieutenant colonel (Res.), said, "It is too soon to tell where those changes will lead us" in the Middle East.  

The first effect of October 7, she said about the enemies of Israel and the U.S. in the Middle East, is, "Israel can no longer tolerate monsters who threaten its very existence. We are eliminating those monsters one after the other, with the support of the United States, which is also very important." She warned, however, that the open question is, will the terrorist regimes and organizations recover?"
