Strong said it appears that the shooter was suffering from a mental health break at the time of the shooting. Local perspective Church parishioner Doug Blair was attending services on Sunday with it all went down, and talked to Fox 2 about what he saw. Services at the vacation bible school were just ending, the collection had just been passed, when he hear a loud noise. "Everyone looked," he said. "I'm thinking, well, somebody's doing construction out there or something, right? And then a few seconds later, like maybe five seconds later you hear another (loud noise)." Blair said that's when someone ran to the window and announced there was an "active shooter," he said. "They started having everybody run out of a sanctuary because the kids, adults, everybody's in there," he said. "I ran because it sounded like it was right outside the window where I was sitting. So I ran to the corner door. And I propped the door open just to see what was going on." He said he was trying to make sure he didn't get hit. Blair said that not far from him, was two of the church security guards. "Well, there was, the shooter … on the ground. His weapon, I think he was still firing away, it was on the ground… right before I got to the door, you could hear it was going bam, bam, bam. That's all you heard," Blair said. "When I opened the door, one of our security people was in front of him and one was on the other side of him. They were just both emptying their clips. Blair said all he could see was smoke, and that was when the police arrived and started CPR on the shooter. He said he watched as the shooter's eyes rolled back in his head, he believes that's the moment that the man died. "You could tell underneath his shirt he had a vest on," Blair said. "I could see no wounds to his head, arms, or legs. Of course, he had long shirt and pants and a thing. But he was dressed in camouflage. He looked like a military camouflage guy. He had a belt around his waist with big old pouches all around it, so he probably had extra clips on him. And he had an automatic weapon." What we don't know Police have not released any details on the shooting. It's not clear who the gunman is or what the circumstances around the shooting are. The Wayne Police Department will hold a press conference at 6 p.m. with an update. The Source Information for this story came from the Wayne Police Department as well as outside sources.
