[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
The shooter has been identified as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36, who previously used the name Jeffrey and has a lengthy criminal record, including assault, marijuana posession and forgery. The shooter used an AR-15 that had “Free Palestine” written on it. The shooter also threatened that she had a bomb, but authorities searched her vehicle and backpack and found no explosives, the Houston police chief said. She was also spraying “some type of substance on the ground,” Finner said. On Sunday night, authorities searched a home in Conroe, Texas, in connection with the shooting, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed Monday. Spokesperson Melissa Garcia told CNN the ATF-Houston Division was one of the law enforcement agencies involved in the search, but provided no additional details on what they were searching for. The home is about 50 minutes north of Lakewood Church. The shooting happened between services at the megachurch that is regularly attended by 45,000 people every week, making it the third largest megachurch in the U.S., according to the Hartford Institute for Religion Research. Osteen´s televised sermons reach about 100 countries. Genesse Moreno went by Jeffrey Escalante Moreno, among other aliases, and was from El Salvador. Moreno also posted about giving money to Osteen's church, and indicated that Moreno had attended and was part of that church. Moreno's Instagram page shows that Moreno presented in a feminine way. | |

| #17 I certainly hope there is no Osteen backstory to this tragic event. Guessin' Osteen wasn't the 'baby daddy'. |

| #16 Were we ever to right the sinking ship that seems to pass as "society", it seems a good first step might be reporting *men* doing things (things good, bad, and indifferent) as *men* doing things rather than just making shit up as we go along. |

| #9 I carry when in Church, as do many of the others there. I also see the cops hired to help and noticed many of them there out of uniform when not working. Being prepared is just the way to go. |
