Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office.
Court records revealed Monday that the woman allegedly behind a shooting at Joel Osteen’s megachurch in Houston was Genesse Moreno, a 36-year-old who had a string of previous arrests that included assault, drug, and weapons charges.
Moreno, who records show previously identified as Jeffrey Escalante, according to The Houston Chronicle, was shot dead by two off-duty law enforcement officers after she entered Lakewood Church with an AR-15-style rifle during a service on Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
Two others were injured in an exchange of gunfire, authorities said, including a boy that’s believed to be around five years old. He was listed as being in critical condition on Sunday. A representative for the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office told the Chronicle that the child was not expected to survive.
