Shooting at Joel Osteen church: Female shooter killed

A woman is dead, and two others were injured following a “tragic day” in Houston at Lakewood Church.

According to Houston Police Department Chief Troy Finner, the shooting occurred just before 2 p.m. when the woman, said to be 30 to 35 years old, walked into the property on the west side of the church from the parking lot.

Upon entering the building, Finner said the woman was armed with a long rifle and a trench coat and backpack. She was also accompanied by a small child approximately four to five years old.

At some point, authorities said, the woman began to fire.

Two law enforcement officers, a TABC agent, with four years of service, and HPD officer, with two years of service, who were working off-duty, quickly engaged the woman, striking her.

The shooter was pronounced dead at the scene.
