    Our ex-nanny goes to church there and said 30ish rounds were fired. However there were like 15 HPD officers there so unsure who was firing. Nanny said 2 people had guns from what she saw. Sons friend is stuck there and live streaming and said 6 stretchers have gone in, but could be people frightened or trampled in a rush so no clue.

    ABC 13 (OTA) has reports that at least three shots were fired. Supposedly, the shooter is down, but things appear to be somewhat fluid.

    2 injured, including child, after shooting at pastor Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church, Houston police say. Shooter is also down

    Excerpt :

    A woman in a trench coat armed with a long rifle – and accompanied by a young child – entered pastor Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church on Sunday afternoon and began firing, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said.

    Two off-duty law enforcement officers – a Houston police officer and an agent with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission – engaged and struck the woman, who died on the scene, Finner said. The woman was roughly 30-35 years old, the chief said.

    “Unfortunately a 5-year-old kid was hit and is in critical condition at our local hospital,” he added. The incident unfolded just before 2 p.m., the chief said. It was unclear who fired the shot that struck the child, the chief said, or what the child’s relationship to the shooter was.

    A 57-year-old man – who authorities don’t believe was connected to the incident – was shot in the leg and is seeking treatment at a hospital, Finner said.

    “I want to commend those officers. She had a long gun and it could have been a lot worse,” Finner said. “But they stepped up and they did their job, and I want to thank them for that.” An investigation will take place into the shooting and both law enforcement officers will be placed on administrative leave while the probe is ongoing.

    The woman had also threatened she “had a bomb,” but authorities searched her vehicle and a backpack she was wearing and found no explosives, Finner said. “She was also spraying some type of substance on the ground,” the chief added.

    Thank God for the off-duty officers working the event who quickly took down the wannabe mass shooter.

    Female shooter is very unusual. Props to Houston for not being basic?

    Proof DEI was working and Caucasian male mass shooters are feeling threatened. Expect them to support Trump.

    DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Looking back at it, not a great joke in a thread from an attempted mass shooting event at a place of worship.
