What we know about the shooting at Joel Osteen's megachurch in Texas

During a news conference, the pastor said his congregation was "devastated" and that he would pray for the victims, suspect and their families.

A woman was killed by two off-duty officers after police said she opened fire with a long rifle inside celebrity pastor Joel Osteen's megachurch in Texas, sending worshippers rushing out of the building between busy Sunday services. 

The woman, in her early to mid-30s, had on a trenchcoat and a backpack and was accompanied by a young boy when she entered the west side of Lakewood Church just before 2 p.m., Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said in a press conference later that day. 

The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office told Scripps News the suspect was identified as Genesse Ivonne Moreno. 

The suspect died at the scene after a shootout with a Houston police officer and an agent of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission who were off-duty at the church. Texas law does not prohibit firearms in religious places of worship. 

The 5-year-old boy who was with the woman and a 57-year-old man were both wounded, but it’s unclear whose gunfire struck the two victims. Police said the boy is in critical condition at a local children’s hospital, but they did not say what relationship the boy had with the shooter.
