Two off-duty police officers working as security guards at the Houston megachurch operated by television host Joel Osteen shot and killed a woman who opened fire with a “long gun” she snuck into the building on Sunday under a trenchcoat, the Associated Press reports.
Accompanied by a child believed to be around five years old, the woman entered the church between programs, which a total of up to 45,000 people will attend on a weekend. The child was also wounded in the exchange of gunfire and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
