Woman Opens Fire at Houston Church, Police Kill Her
In a shocking incident that unfolded at a popular megachurch in Houston, Texas, a woman entered the premises armed with a long gun and opened fire, leaving a child in critical condition and another man injured. The incident took place at the church led by renowned televangelist Joel Osteen on Sunday afternoon.
The woman responsible for the shooting has been identified as 36-year-old Genesse Ivonne Moreno. She was dressed in a trench coat and carrying a backpack when she entered the church. Eyewitnesses reported that she pointed her weapon at the security officers, prompting them to react swiftly and defend themselves. Tragically, in the exchange of gunfire, her 7-year-old son was shot in the head and is currently fighting for his life in the hospital.
Authorities have not yet released specific details about what led to the shooting. The injured man, identified as Tom George Thomas, suffered a bullet wound to his leg but has since been discharged from the hospital after receiving treatment. Initially, it was reported that the rifle used by Moreno had the message “Free Palestine” written on it, but investigators later clarified that it only said “Palestine.”
Upon further investigation into Moreno’s background, it was revealed that she had a history of mental health issues and petty crimes. Despite her troubled past, Moreno had managed to gain the attention of the Lakewood Church through her expertise in property and financial services.
Joel Osteen expressed his deep sadness over the incident, emphasizing that it occurred in between church services while they were setting up for a Spanish service. The shooting has left the community in shock and mourning for all those affected.
As the investigation into this tragic event continues, authorities are working to piece together the events leading up to the shooting and the motives behind it. The church, known for its inclusive and welcoming atmosphere, is now grappling with the aftermath of this senseless act of violence..
