A woman who walked into a popular Texas megachurch Sunday afternoon with a long gun and a young child opened fire before she was killed by law enforcement officers on scene. The gunfire left the child in critical condition and another man injured, officials said.

Authorities are now probing the shooting at televangelist and pastor Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church – roughly 6 miles from downtown Houston.

The woman, estimated to be between 30 and 35 years old, entered the church shortly before 2 p.m. wearing a trench coat and backpack and opened fire, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said in a Sunday afternoon news conference.

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.

Illegal alien?
Long criminal record
Tranny

I’m beginning to see a pattern.

God bless the brave officers who took care of the threat.

My bet was either a tranny or (especially because of the use of a child as a human shield) a Muslim.

Who knew it would be an Exacta?!

A brown skinned person with a name Escalante Moreno is listed as non-hispanic white???? SMFH
When a hispanic does something good their ethnicity is celebrated but when they do something bad, they’re white. This is how they skew the crime statistics.

Now if he was an illegal Muslim trans, that would be a trifecta.

So far we have Exacta.

Sexual weirdos get a pass from the DOJ, FBI, and MSM... if there's a manifesto it's now hidden from view for.. for... forever. Wanting to kill Christians give her/it/him a pass from deep state thugs too. She/it/him was fulfilling the deep state fantasy.

The only person killed was the person hoping to gun down dozens of innocents.

I enjoy stories with a happy ending.

Too bad you didn’t guess “foreign born” or you would have hit the trifecta!

“Too bad you didn’t guess “foreign born” or you would have hit the trifecta!”

I know, really.

Are we sure this wasn’t Obama?

A gay, minority, Muslim, and an illegal walks into a bar.

The bartender says, “Hi, President Obama. You want your usual?”
