Not only was the shooter a trans from El Salvador, she also had a gun engraved with “Free Palestine” but investigators can’t say if she was politically motivated or not.
When this country starts being truthful, regardless of who’s feelings get hurt, we will solve many problems. https://t.co/NtCr9Mqv3U

Stop Risking Your Safety: Uncover the Truth Behind the Best Survival Caliber!
Original article below:
In a shocking incident that shattered the tranquility of Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church, a courageous act of heroism unfolded on Sunday afternoon, leaving two individuals injured and the suspect dead, according to Texas authorities.
Police Chief Troy Finner revealed that the terrifying shooting began precisely at 1:53 p.m., just as the Spanish language church service was scheduled to commence. The assailant, identified as a woman, brazenly entered the church brandishing a long rifle, sporting a trench coat, and carrying a backpack. Even more chilling, she was accompanied by a “small child, approximately 4 to 5 years old,” Finner disclosed.
In a moment of sheer bravery, off-duty officers present at the scene engaged the deranged assailant, courageously returning fire. Their swift action ensured that the suspect was swiftly neutralized and pronounced dead on-site. A testament to their selfless courage, they put their lives on the line to protect innocent lives within the sacred walls of the church.
Amidst the chaos, two individuals, including a 57-year-old man who received a gunshot wound to his leg, suffered injuries. Most concerning of all, the young child who was brought to the scene by the shooter remains in critical condition, battling through the aftermath of this heinous act.
Chief Finner shared another chilling detail during the press conference – the suspect made mention of a bomb. “Once she went down, officers reported back to us that she threatened that she had a bomb. So we searched her vehicle, our bomb squad, and also the backpack (she brought),” he disclosed. In a gripping turn of events, no explosives were found; however, the deranged shooter was also observed spraying an unknown substance on the ground, heightening the sense of danger that enveloped the scene.
Police are confident that this horrifying act was an isolated incident, assuring the public that there is no further threat looming over their safety. However, our hearts go out to those affected by this blatant disregard for human life.
Senior Pastor Joel Osteen, exuding strength and resolve, expressed his gratitude to law enforcement and shared the profound devastation he felt in the wake of this tragedy. “We don’t understand why all these things happened, but we know God’s in control,” he declared. In the face of adversity, he emphasized the unwavering strength of faith and reaffirmed the church’s commitment to uplifting people and restoring hope to a troubled world.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez initially broke the news, confirming the demise of the shooter. In a social media post, he clarified that it was “other agencies” and not deputies from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office who responded with decisive action.
Correction: shooter is down. But it does not appear that @HCSOTexas deputies fired shots; other agencies fired. We continue to assist in a methodical/thorough search of the complex.

As the search of the complex ensued methodically and efficiently, anxious locals were advised to head to the designated “family reunification location” at Greenway Plaza’s Life Time Fitness gym if they had any missing family members.

Such a brazen act targeting a place of worship strikes at the heart of our nation’s values and demands a resolute response from every American.
