A shooting at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, left a child critically wounded and a female shooter dead. During a live Spanish service, the shooter, identified as a leftist, transgender, El Salvadoran immigrant with 'Free Palestine' written on her AR-15, began firing. A 5-year-old child and a 56-year-old man were victims, with the child in critical condition and the man shot in the leg. Two off-duty officers, a TABC agent and an HPD officer, neutralized the shooter. She claimed to have a bomb, but no explosives were found. The incident led to the freeway's closure and the evacuation of the 16,800-seat megachurch. Houston Police Chief Troy Finner confirmed the details, which have attracted significant media attention.
