    Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church shooting: Two shot and female suspect killed


    A child and a man were injured and a woman was killed after she opened fire at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston on Sunday, police said.

    The woman entered the church, accompanied by a boy believed to be about 5 years old, and started shooting, Police Chief Troy Finner said at a news conference Sunday afternoon.

    Two off-duty law enforcement officers who were at the church when shots were fired about 1:50 p.m. opened fire, and the woman was killed, Finner said.

    The child was in critical condition, and a man, who is in his 50s, was being treated for an injury to his leg, Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña said.

    Listening to Michael Berry right now. He’s claiming that it’s about to be released that the shooter is not a natural woman. The shooters birth name is James. Also, the little boy that was shot is not expected to survive.

    eta: i got his name wrong his name is Jeffery Escalante-Moreno from El Salvador. He’s got a lengthy arrest record and was born in 1987

    If that's all correct, then this goes away. Evaporates.

    Also, I need to correct items I posted earlier. I had read that "she" possessed explosives. But today it says "she" claimed that after being shot, but they found none in backpack or vehicle. It also said something was "sprayed" over the people. Aerosol? Not clear ...
    Some strangeness here.

    I'm hearing from people that were on scene she appeared to be a pro-Palestinian activist. She had some messages written on her rifle and came with plenty of ammo. The explosives turned out to be bad info. I'm not sure what the tranny talk is all about.

    Edit: just saw some pics and theres a strong trans possibility there

    Edit: not sure on the tranny stuff yet but I saw a screenshot of the alleged FB profile and it might be a possibility.

    If that's true it could have been a lot worse.

    Also

    FBI and Conroe PD have blocked off my neighborhood, not sure if this is related. I heard it was, I don’t know anything else.

    Looks like it was residing Conroe, according to ch 2

    According to Hernandez, members of the FBI, Conroe PD, Montgomery County SO, HPD, and Texas Rangers were at the home collecting evidence and working to determine the reason for the shooting.

    Police said the shooter was a woman in her early to mid-30s. She reportedly walked into the church with a rifle, wearing a trench coat, and holding a small child.


    Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo is calling for investigators to look into whether or not the shooting was a hate crime.

    Is the Judge looking at crime against Christians ...or is it usual ethnic slant? Seems like attack against a Church.
