A violent scene unfolded during Sunday’s service at The City of God Church in westside Detroit. A man armed with a brick entered the church, threatened parishioners, and attacked the pastor. According to police, the pastor pulled out his Glock handgun and fired several shots at the man, killing him. The shooting took place inside the church on Grand River Avenue around 1:45 p.m.
“The pastor had had issues with the man before,” says Assistant Detroit Police Chief Steve Dolunt. “He had been threatening him to do bodily harm. He walked into the service and went after the pastor with a brick. The pastor pulled out his Glock and fired several shots. I think he hit him four or five times.” The man was taken to Botsford Hospital and pronounced dead.
