Lakewood church: Gunwoman killed in Texas megachurch shootout

A Texas woman clad in a trench coat and accompanied by a child opened fire in a crowded Texas megachurch before she was gunned down by police, officials say.

The suspect, named by police as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36, was with her seven-year-old son, who was critically injured in the Houston shootout.

Investigators said the attacker had "Palestine" written on the butt of her rifle and they had uncovered antisemitic writings by her.

But they said the motive is unclear.

A 57-year-old man was wounded in the shooting and has since been discharged from hospital.

Police said the suspect used an AR-15 rifle for the attack. She also had a .22 calibre rifle, but did not fire that weapon.
