Joel Osteen Church Shooter Identified As Woman Previously Known As “Jeffrey”; “Free Palestine” Written On Gun

Twitter had this news all morning and finally the Legacy Media has been forced to report on it.

It appears as though the Lakewood Church shooter is a transgender “woman” who was previously “Jeffrey”.

Take a look:

Collin Rugg reports:

JUST IN: The shooter at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church has been identified as a transgender Bernie Sanders supporter.

Shocker.

The individual was identified as Genesse Moreno who was previously known as Jeffery Escalante.

Moreno, who is clearly unstable, allegedly brought a 5-year old to the shooting who was shot during the incident.

The child is in critical condition.

The gun that was used to carry out the mass shooting allegedly had “free Palestine” on it.|

Back in 2020, Moreno shared a photo of Bernie Sanders on Instagram with the caption: “I WANT HIM IN THE OFFICE as the US PRESIDENT.”

Houston’s Chron reports the following:

The shooter who entered Lakewood Church on Sunday with a long rifle and child in tow has been identified as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, according to multiple sources.

The 36-year-old previously identified as Jeffrey Escalante and had prior arrests for assault, forgery, marijuana possession, theft, evading and unlawful carrying of a weapon, according to KHOU’s Jeremy Rogalski.

Accoring to a Texas Department of Public Safety records search, her criminal report dates back to 2005.
Members of the FBI, Conroe Police Department, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Houston Police Department and Texas Rangers arrived at a Conroe home hours after the Sunday shooting to collect evidence and try to piece together the main piece of the puzzle. The shooter walked into the Houston mega-church with a 5-year-old while wearing a trench coat and carrying a backpack that she reportedly announced had explosives inside.

Explosives were not found in her possession or in her vehicle.

Police said the woman entered the church and opened fire in the lobby around 1:53 p.m. Two law enforcement officers working extra jobs at the church returned fire and shot and killed the woman. At some point during the shooting, the 5-year-old boy accompanying her and a 57-year-old man were both hit by gunfire. It is unclear if the victims were hit by bullets from the suspect’s gun or from the officers who returned fire.

The child was taken to Texas Children’s Hospital in critical condition, police said.

And ABC News reports that “Free Palestine” was written on the gun:

“Free Palestine” was written on the gun belonging to a woman who opened fire at celebrity pastor Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.

However, a motive behind the Sunday afternoon shooting has not been determined. Sources said investigators are feverishly going through the social media and writings belonging to the suspect, described as a woman between 30 and 35 years old.

Detectives believe the suspect fired as many as 12 shots, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.

When the shooter entered the church, she was accompanied by a child aged 4 or 5, Houston police chief Troy Finner said.

The suspect opened fire with a rifle, and two off-duty officers fired back, striking and killing her, Finner said.

The child was also shot and has been hospitalized in critical condition, Finner said. It’s not clear who shot the child or the relationship between the child and shooter, police said.

A man believed to be a parishioner was also shot in the leg, Finner said.

The suspect allegedly threatened that she had a bomb, police said. Officials searched her car and backpack but nothing was found. She also appeared to be spraying an unknown substance, authorities said.
