Investigators are working to find answers after a shooting incident at Lakewood Church. A woman entered the church with weapons and opened fire before being shot dead by security officers.
In the first day after shots rang out inside Lakewood Church , investigators have been working non-stop, trying to find answers to what happened. Houston Mayor John Whitmire is pledging total transparency, as the investigation unfolds, 'You will know what we know, as we learn it.' What investigators say they know, so far, is that 36-year-old Genesse Moreno parked her SUV at the church entrance at 1:53 p.m.
Sunday, hiding two rifles under a trench coat, wearing a backpack, with her 7 year-old son in tow. At the front door, she met a church security guard. 'She displayed, or possibly pointed a weapon at that security officer, and kind of forced her way in,' says Houston Police Department Chief Troy Finner. By 1:55 p.m., Moreno declared she had a bomb and opened fire inside the church lobby entrance. She was confronted by a TABC agent and HPD officer, both working as extra-duty security. They engaged the woman, and shot her dead
