Church Shooting in Michigan Underscores Need for Advanced Preventative Security Measures

Wayne, Michigan – June 19, 2025 – The recent shooting at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan, where a man opened fire before being neutralized by a security guard, underscores the critical need for heightened security protocols in places of worship. Axios Security Group urges religious organizations and community spaces to prioritize safety measures to protect their congregants.



The shooter, Brian Anthony Browning, was armed with an AR-15-style rifle, a semi-automatic handgun, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. He was stopped by the quick actions of the church’s security team, averting what could have been a mass casualty event.

"We commend the courageous actions of the security personnel who prevented further tragedy," said Jereme Dozier, CEO of Axios Security Group. "This incident demonstrates the need for comprehensive security strategies that include preparation, training, and early threat detection."

Proactive Security Measures

Axios Security Group recommends the following measures to enhance safety for places of worship:

  1. Controlled Access Points:

    • Install metal detectors and surveillance cameras at entry points.

    • Implement guest check-in procedures to monitor and manage attendance.

  2. Security Team Training:

    • Provide tactical training for security personnel to handle active shooter scenarios.

    • Conduct routine emergency response drills with staff and congregants.

  3. Behavioral Threat Assessments:

    • Train teams to recognize signs of mental health crises or suspicious behavior.

    • Use tools like Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to monitor online activity for potential risks.

  4. Community Partnerships:

    • Work collaboratively with local law enforcement and emergency responders to ensure cohesive action plans.

  5. Physical and Cybersecurity Integration:

    • Combine traditional security measures with digital monitoring systems for comprehensive protection.
