Remember the Hero Whose Truck Got Shot up Stopping a Church Shooter? He Just Got the Reward of a Lifetime from a Local Business |

True heroes often don’t don capes; instead, they sport collared shirts, drive pickup trucks, and exhibit a level of bravery that many can only aspire to.

On June 22, Richard Pryor, a deacon at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan, found himself in a Ford F-150 when he noticed a man in military fatigues brandishing weapons approaching the church.

“As soon as he exited the vehicle, I recognized the fatigues, saw the gun at his hip, and then he withdrew a weapon from his vehicle,” Pryor recounted to WXYZ-TV.

The assailant began firing shots at the church.

What transpired next was a moment of instinct that delineates bystanders from true saviors.

Pryor accelerated, ramming his truck into the shooter and thwarting what law enforcement officials later described as a potential mass tragedy.

The gunman retaliated, firing into Pryor’s vehicle and disabling its engine.

“He shot a round through the truck, and in those fleeting seconds, I realized the truck was incapacitated and I was unarmed,” Pryor vividly recalled from that harrowing day.

Fortunately, armed members of the church staff were able to subdue the shooter, but Pryor’s courageous actions likely granted them the critical seconds necessary to respond.

Wayne Police Chief Ryan Strong confirmed that Pryor and the church staff definitely played a crucial role in saving lives.

The suspect, 31-year-old Brian Anthony Browning, reportedly grappled with a mental health crisis, according to police, though his exact motivations remain unclear.

He was ultimately shot and killed by church staff after being struck by Pryor’s vehicle.

This past week, a local business expressed gratitude in an impressive manner.

Demmer Ford, conveniently located near the church, presented Pryor with a brand-new 2025 Ford F-150 PowerBoost on a two-year lease.

“He was incredibly appreciative and seemed almost hesitant, as if he felt unworthy of it, which is certainly not the case,” remarked dealership owner Matthew Demmer.

Pryor’s previous work truck, a 2018 model, was rendered unusable during the incident.

“I can’t express how overwhelmingly thankful I am for everyone’s support,” Pryor stated. “The Lord was undoubtedly involved in the events of that Sunday.”

This could have been a narrative about Christians meeting tragic fates in their pews.

Instead, it has morphed into a tale of community, valor, and generosity.

Pryor likely didn’t start his day with the intention of becoming a hero on that Sunday morning. However, when faced with malevolence, he did what any good person would do — he took action, prioritizing the safety of others over his own wellbeing.

Thanks to compassionate individuals like Demmer, his story did not conclude with that act of bravery.

Rather, it culminated in a remarkable blessing.
