At least one person was injured and a gunman was dead after a shooting on Sunday at a church in Wayne, Mich., the police said.

The Wayne Police Department said on social media that officers responded to a report of a shooting at CrossPointe Church, which is about 25 miles west of Detroit. After they arrived, officers found that a security guard had fatally shot the gunman.

One victim was shot in the leg, the police said.

A livestream of the church service, which has since been taken down, showed a stage set up to look like a campsite on a lakeshore.

The livestream shows a crowd of at least 20 people, including many children, mill about after the presentation concludes when suddenly shouting can be heard and people start getting down behind seats and running.

People carry and also cover children out of view of the camera.
