Shooting in Detroit church kills woman
DETROIT - A man opened fire at a church service Sunday, killing an 18-year-old woman and wounding her child before shooting another man outside, according to police and broadcast reports.
Second Deputy Police Chief James Tate confirmed that three people were shot, one fatally, at Zion Hope Missionary Baptist Church, about 11 a.m.
The child did not have life-threatening injuries, WWJ-AM reported. The third victim, who was shot when trying to protect his wife from a carjacking attempt by the shooter, was in critical condition, the station said.
Church members helped police identify a suspect, Tate said. Officers were looking for Kevin Lorenzo Collins, 24, who is considered armed and dangerous.
The shooting was the result of a domestic dispute, Tate said.
"Church had begun, and shots rang out," he said. After summoning help, church members continued the service.
"They didn't let this incident stop the reason why they came to church," he said. "They came to worship."
