A woman opened fire with a long gun inside celebrity pastor Joel Osteen’s megachurch in Texas on Sunday before being shot and killed by off-duty police officers, authorities said.
The armed woman entered the Lakewood Church in Houston alongside a 5-year-old boy, who was critically wounded in the shootout with police. A 57-year-old man, who is not believed to be involved in the incident, was also shot but is in stable condition.
The suspect claimed to have a bomb, but no explosives were found by police, officials said. https://trib.al/GhHzLnw

Hey, it was a female that used a male name in the past. They also said she wrote Palestine on the rifle. All unsubstantiated news.
This is what happends if you teach kids to be victims.
Jesus even knows it wasn't a female.
Also next time pray harder and God will save you
