Lakewood Church Shooter Stopped by Good Guy with Gun
Breitbart ^ | 02/11/2024 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 02/11/2024 2:06:18 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

A shooter at Houston’s Lakewood Church was reportedly stopped by a Harris County Sheriff’s deputy working security at the church Sunday morning.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez responded to news of the shooting with an X post saying, “It is believed that a possible shooter is down, shot by one of our deputy’s on-scene. I’m enroute to the scene.”

Click2Houston reported the shooter allegedly opened fire in the church lobby. The outlet noted that witnesses indicated “the shooter was possibly a female.”

That’s ironic...my pastor just finished delivering a message which included an appeal for people to PLEASE buy some firearms to defend themselves against the illegals flooding over the border.

It is a very large church in a former arena. Not sure how many it seats but the church has something like 20,000 members.

Uh-oh..... All the media people involved in this statement will now have to go through months of re-education, to get their minds right.

The very first violation is using the term ‘female.’ What is a woman? What is a female? What do you call a biological male in a dress with a gun? Will trans wackos been granted special 2nd amendment rights? Just imagine the Trans Bill of Rights.

I concur CC, but, yeah, prayers up.

This was at the afternoon Spanish service and that preacher might not be preaching the prosperity gospel. My hopes anyway.

I’ve been home nursing a broken back since mid December making lots of time for listening to sermons and Bible study. It has occurred to me that the biggest mission field in our nation is to help rescue the congregants of such churches, and charismatic tongues chaos and Catholics and Mormons, where millions of good people are tricked into believing a false gospel.

Let the flaming begin.

There are always serpents in the garden. And they can only be discerned through prayer and humility.

.... Hmmmm ... Woman toting a child ..... No Name yet ..... I'm thinking maybe ... Some chick demanding child support from the father who's last name may be Osteen? .... Or some whacked out trans person identifying as a woman once again. Trench Coat/Long gun seems like a curious choice for a biological Female...... Just sayin'

https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2024/02/11/lakewood-church-attacker-female-long-gun/

During the Sunday afternoon press conference, Houston PD chief Troy Finner explained that the attacker who opened fire in Lakewood Church was a 30 to 35-year-old female armed with a long rifle. She was wearing a trench coat and carrying a backpack.

The female had a small child with her. Two off-duty officers — a 38-year-old TABC agent and a 28-year-old Houston PD off-duty officer — opened fire, shooting the female.

A five-year-old child was shot and is in critical condition, and a 57-year-old man was shot and wounded as well.

Finner said that once she was shot, the female “threatened” and claimed to have explosives. The female shooter died from her gunshot wounds.

Finner stressed that he believes the attack was “an isolated incident.”

“I still can’t get over that other Texas church shooting where the civilian 20-plus feet away nailed him with a PERFECT head shot, right over the heads of all the innocent people there.”

Not only a perfect dome shot but with a Gucci caliber too. The good guy was carrying a Glock in 357 sig it’s a HOT load 1500+fps out of a semiautomatic it was designed to give 357 mag level fps in a 13+1 weapon. It’s a 10mm auto case necked down to 9mm and cut short enough to not need the large mag well of the 10mm which is God’s caliber.

The 10mm case can take 65,000psi and real 10mm is loaded to the limits. I load mine till the primers start to flatten 220gr @1480fps out of a 5.5” bbl people come over at the range all the time to witness the loodenboomer noise maker. 220gr@1400+ treading into 44 magnum territory and I carry it in place of a 6 shot 44mag in bear/cougar/feral hog country.

The 357 sig can be loaded to north of 60,000psi due to it’s parent case. It’s basically a 357 mag in a semiautomatic frame.

oh my goodness!! I am just catching up with the news later tonight and just reading about the church shooting. I am always concerned about this type of violence in our own church, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills. We do have bomb sniffing dogs that come in before the services, but still...sigh.

Praying for those involved at this church.

I’ve never seen a church that has escalators.

There is one in Charlotte, NC. I’ve been to a couple of special events there.

HMMMmmm...



Luke 22:36 New International Version
He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.


Luke 22:36 King James Bible
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

 

 
Matthew 10:34-36
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— 36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
 

Luke 22:38 niv
The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”
“That’s enough!” he replied.

A lot of wolves in sheeps’ clothes too. Ask for discernment in those prayers as well.

At the end of every broadcast Joel says, “I hope you get into a bible-based church...”

He doesn’t say, “What I tell you is the ONLY thing you should listen to.”

Matthew 15:24 ESV
Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep—the people of Israel.”

Does anyone ever think that perhaps Joel was ONLY sent to the Lost Sheep of Houston?

1 Corinthians 1:17
“For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.”

Even Paul seems to have had a limited range of today’s biblical ‘requirements’.

“ Or some whacked out trans person identifying as a woman once again.”

We have a winner! Also had “Free Palestine” on the rifle. Had a Spanish name, but still unclear which sex.
