The 36-year-old suspect, identified by the authorities as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, was in the Houston gunfight with her seven-year-old kid, who suffered serious injuries.
Investigators claimed to have found antisemitic writings and that the attacker had scribbled “Palestine” on the butt of her firearm.
However, they claimed it’s unclear why.
Following the event, a 57-year-old man who had been shot in the hip was released from the hospital.
Police stated that the gunwoman’s kid, who has not been named, is “fighting for his life” after taking a bullet to the head during the gunfight. Who shot the boy is a mystery.
The first gunshots were heard during a live streamed service at the church. Initially, Pastor Jorge Basave proceeded with the recording, stating to the Houston Chronicle that his intention was to convey serenity.
“I was worried my fear would be contagious,” he stated.
According to the police, the attacker utilized an AR-15 weapon. She did not fire her.22 caliber rifle, but she did own one.
The assailant has a history of mental health problems, according to officials, and was under an emergency detention order in 2016.
Records accessible to the public show that Moreno has a lengthy history of arrests and convictions for offenses including assault, drug use, and gun possession.
