Shooter at Houston church had anti-Israel propaganda on her gun
The Houston Police Department and Mayor John Whitmire, along with other agencies, released more information on the shooter in the Lakewood Church shooting. The shooter was identified as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36.Putting a child in danger is one of the most offensive things criminals like these could do.
According to Houston Police Department Homicide Division commander, Chris Hassig, Moreno pointed a gun at an unarmed female security guard which allowed her to gain entrance to the West side of the church.
Moreno, wearing a trench coat, and a 7-year-old boy entered a church, produced an AR-15 rifle from under the coat, forced their way into the lobby, and began shooting. Hassig said Moreno began letting off rounds almost immediately after entering the church.
An HPD officer, who was off-duty and working an extra job at the location, heard the shooting and approached to investigate. At that time, the officer exchanged gunfire with the suspect.
An off-duty TABC officer, also working an extra job at the location, approached the scene and saw the suspect and the HPD officer exchanging gunfire. The TABC officer also exchanged gunfire with the suspect.
Moreno was struck multiple times. Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced her deceased at the scene.
The 7-year-old boy, who was Moreno's son, was with her during the shooting and was shot in the crossfire. Houston Police Chief, Troy Finner said, "the 7-year-old boy is still in critical condition, and we are sending prayers to his family".
Moreno had two guns with her at the time of the shooting but only used the AR-15 with a Palestine sticker on the butt of the gun. The other gun was a .22 caliber handgun and was in her backpack at the time of the shooting.That's what makes tragic cases like these stupefying. For all we know, she could've been an unofficial convert to Islam and acted as a "lone wolf" jihadist. Following these kind of incidents, guards at churches and synagogues would be strongly advised to carry arms for defense, because these kind of felons are severely dangerous, and bound to become even more so very soon.
Hassig said Moreno was not found to be connected or associated with any groups and acted alone.
Officials said they were able to find more information about Moreno in her home after a search warrant was conducted by the FBI Monday morning. They found antisemitic writings and also other evidence connected to the shooting.
Hassig said Moreno's husband's family is Jewish, and she was reported to have issues with his family.
Investigators also learned Moreno did use multiple names, such as Jeffery, and changed her sex on multiple occasions, but is a female.
She also had a lengthy criminal history that is being investigated since she was able to obtain a gun before having run-ins with police.
