This past Sunday afternoon, a woman reportedly fired shots on the Houston campus of Lakewood Church (pop-evangelical worship center pastored by Joel Osteen). The shooter came accompanied by a 5-year-old child and with a long rifle and bomb strapped to her person. The service was a Spanish-language service, and two off-duty police officers killed the shooter. The child was injured during the incident, as was a man in his 50s.
The shooter was initially identified by police as 36-year-old Hispanic woman Genesse Ivonne Moreno.

I was shocked at how little press the story got and how quickly the media seems to have dropped it from their interests. Turns out the shooter had a trans-sexual history, and at some point went by the alias of Jeffrey Escalante. The shooter had a history of mental illness and recent prior arrests. During the church shooting, the shooter was reportedly brandishing some "Free Palestine" paraphernalia.
Sunday's "developing story" Tweet:
Haven't heard anything about the other man who was supposedly running around in public with a rifle, or if that was even related to this story.
