Cops Find Texas Megachurch Shooter’s ‘Antisemitic Writings’

Houston police said Monday that Genesse Moreno, the suspect who was shot dead Sunday during a shootout at Joel Osteen’s megachurch that left two others wounded, had a “Palestine” sticker on her rifle and made antisemitic writings.

Moreno, 36, had a string of previous arrests that included assault, drug, and weapons charges, and police revealed in a Monday news conference that she had a “documented” history of mental health issues.

Christopher Hassig, the commander of the Houston Police Department’s homicide division, said Moreno was engaged in an ongoing dispute with her ex-husband, who is Jewish, and his family. He said that beef and her ex-husband’s religion “might possibly be where all of this stems from.”

“We do believe that there was a familial dispute that has taken place between her ex-husband and her ex-husband’s family,” Hassig said. “And some of those individuals are Jewish.”
