Lakewood Shooting Update: 7 Year Old With Injuries To Brain Fighting For His Life

It was last Sunday, Feb 11 at the 2pm Spanish service that the shooting occured.

Video below captured the shooting heard inside the building.

This sort of thing is very traumatizing to not only all those involved but to those that attend the other services, to churches in the nearby area.

Even your own neighborhood.

You wonder, as you enter your church, if some local lunatic that swallowed too many lies from the media might try something stupid and foolish on your campus.

Sadly, one of the victims was just a 7 year old boy.

He doesn’t understand theology. He probably doesn’t have a lexicon of memorized verses of Bible promises to combat times of doubt that he currently is in.

No, his mother was the shooter. Imagine that. When he recovers he’s got to live with that knowledge.

But we can pray for him and those fellow believers among that group, those hurt physically, and those that are still feeling the aftershock.

Fox News reports:

The 7-year-old boy shot at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church earlier this month is fighting for his life after multiple surgeries to his brain and skull, according to his grandmother.

Shooter Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36, entered the Houston megachurch around 2 p.m. with her own son, Samuel Moreno Carranza, before opening fire with an AR-15. The young boy and another man were critically wounded at the scene.

The boy’s grandmother, Walli Carranza, wrote in a Wednesday Facebook post that “half of his right skull [now] has to be surgically removed during two surgeries done in less than 24 hours.”

“He was in cardiac arrest multiple times and no one can determine whether he has significant brain activity because his scalp tissue is too friable to allow the attachment of EEG wires,” the boy’s grandmother wrote.

Moreno’s second victim, a 57-year-old man, was shot in the leg but was in stable condition later that day, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner previously told Fox News Digital.

One of two armed, off-duty law enforcement officers working security at the church shot Moreno in a subsequent firefight – she would later succumb to her injuries.

It is unclear whether the boy was shot by his mother or the security guards trying to subdue her.

“I don’t want to speculate on that, but what I would say is if it was, unfortunately, and that female, that suspect put that baby in danger, I’m going to put that blame on her,” Finner said during a press conference last week.

After Moreno “went down,” Finner said, the officers at the scene quickly searched her backpack and vehicle for explosives due to earlier threats she’d made.

Pastor Joel Osteen wipes away tears as he talks about last week’s shooting at Lakewood Church, Sunday, Feb. 18, 2024, in Houston.

“My faith tradition demands of me compassion, and I have it for my deceased daughter-in-law,” the boy’s grandmother wrote in her post. “She has schizophrenia and, now we know, anti-social personality disorder. Her brain was broken.”

Indeed it was.

A broken brain, most likely brought on by the legacy media and their constant propaganda.

Here’s a view from inside of the sanctuary with gunshots heard.

1 week after the shooting, Pastor Joel posts this message:

The Lord is our strength. Let’s come together today at Lakewood for A Special Service of Healing, Prayer, and Unity.
