A woman wearing a trenchcoat and armed with a long rifle was fatally shot by law enforcement officers after allegedly opening fire at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church on Sunday afternoon.
According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the reported shooting happened in the 3700 block of the Southwest Freeway, at Lakewood Church.
Joel Osteen, who cofounded Lakewood Church, said they were in between services, going into the Spanish service when the shooting started.
Here I was, thinking it was considered a no-no to bring a deadly weapon into a church in the first place.
In Texas there are lots of churches where members proudly open carry. They’re the same people with the “we don’t call 911 in this house” yard signs. They desperately want to kill somebody.
They want to be the hero.
They need to be the hero.
Evangelicals, not that any of the rest are better.
