A child and a man were injured, and a woman was killed after opening 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.
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.
If law enforcement gunfire is responsible for striking the child, Finner said, “I’m going to put that blame on her” for putting the boy in danger.
The shooting happened in between services, as people were arriving for Spanish service, Osteen said.
Police believe the shooting was an isolated incident and there is no further danger to the public.
The woman had a long rifle and a backpack and was wearing a trench coat when she entered the church from a parking lot and started shooting, Finner said.

If “she” has a manifesto we’ll all understand
Plus they won’t release it
Betcha there is enough on her to prove she should have been in a mental institution and would have been if this was the 1950s or 60s before the mental hospitals were closed in the 1970s.
Women shoot guns at people.
Usually at employees of fast food restaurants, though.
Or sleeping boyfriends/husbands. RIP Phil Hartmann.
Dylan Mulvaney upset he wasn’t in a Super Bowl ad?
Joe can add this to his spiel “there are mass shootings taking place every day.”
There was a Michelob Ultra ad that was just as gay as the Mulvaney Bud Light in the Loafers ad.
Yes. Again. All that ADA stuff you know. Everybody equal and all that stuff.
To be fair, Osteen doesn’t do much bible.
Actually I agree
I liked his father; Joel is a motivational speaker.
Charles Stanley was awesome. Andy Stanley - no thanks.
The Communists are trying to “trans” everyone and everything.
To be honest, it wasn’t a church service. It was an Osteen motivational seminar.
Yeah
Tranny?
We need to go full Pinochet.
Yay. Another Pinochet fan.
Whole lot of anti democratic fascists here as long as the government kills the right people, yay!
It was the Spanish language afternoon service
I don’t understand your post.
Are you confusing Joel Osteen’s theology with Christianity?
This.
