Suspect dead after child among 2 shot at Texas' Lakewood Church, officials say

Joel Osteen is of course a celebrity pastor making me think he might have been the target. So sorry the child is in critical condition. This could have been much worse:

Woman firing rifle killed by 2 off-duty officers at Joel Osteen’s church, 2 others hurt, police say

A woman in a trenchoat entered the Houston megachurch of celebrity pastor Joel Osteen and started shooting Sunday afternoon and was killed by two off-duty officers working security, police said. They added a young child with the woman was critically hurt and another man nearby was wounded.

Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said the woman entered the church with a long gun and a backpack shortly before 2 p.m. on Sunday, accompanied by a child about 4 or 5 years old. He said the child was in critical condition after being taken to a hospital.'

 

So sad.

I can't wait to hear all about this woman's beliefs.

 

It happened at the Mexican service. My bet is her husband met someone at church and was having an affair.

 

Osteen responds:

 

I doubt there was a target. Seems like a double murder by cops was her intended goal if reports are true that she brought a 5 year old to her mass shooting attempt are true. Wouldn't surprise me if there was a domestic situation with a custody battle not going her way behind this story.

 

wonder if she wrote or told anyone why she did it

 

The only update is the shooters home was searched.
She's yet to be identified.

Weird how they haven't released the woman's name yet....

"The shooter used an AR-15 that had “Free Palestine” written on it, according to a federal law enforcement source. Investigators are trying to sort out whether she was politically motivated or a disturbed individual, the source said."

Oh wait.... now we know why.

 

Good thing there were good guys with guns there.

 

Not the first ever transgender shooter:

 

So, a minority with mental health issues who was transitioning from male to female using a gun that says "free palestine" on it.

Yeah, this isnt going to get much coverage.

 

Guess I was wrong lol

 

Her rifle was festooned with "Free Palestine" and she was a tranny. So, that pretty much sums it up.

 

How many pro-terrorist politicians are going to have to answer for inciting this violence?

 

Free Palestine was a mis reporting. It simply says Palestine.

 

Same difference.

 

Not necessarily. In either case: If you're going to be talking about it, make sure you're correct. When you **** up facts, people disregard what you have to say.

 

My point remains the same. Her motive is just as obvious.

 

Not really dude. Coulda been a "**** palestine" sticker that got cut off and they were too whackadoodle to even care.

Their motive is not remotely clear other "I want to shoot someone and probably suicide by cop".

 

The child is actually 7 years old:

A dead shooter is the only positive in these tragedies. Unfortunately it is usually what the perpetrator wanted.

 

Just tragic:

 

A person of mystery:

 

Is she trans or not:
