Shooting at Joel Osteen's Church Leaves Shooter Dead, Child in Critical Condition

Newly released footage captures the chaos and heroism during the attack, as discussions on mental health and security intensify.

New footage reveals the chaotic moments at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church in Houston, where Genesse Moreno opened fire, resulting in her death and injuries to her son and another individual.
The 7-year-old son of the shooter, Samuel Moreno, remains in critical condition after being shot in the head; his grandmother reports he is breathing on his own but may need further brain surgery.
Genesse Moreno, identified as having a history of mental illness and antisemitic writings, attempted to carry out the attack during a church service, claiming she had a bomb.
Off-duty officers, including an HPD officer and a TABC officer, were hailed as heroes for their quick response, preventing a potential massacre.
The incident has sparked discussions on mental health, security in places of worship, and the impact of hate-driven violence.
