lmao
“Unfortunately a 5-year-old kid was hit and is in critical condition at our local hospital,” he added. The incident unfolded just before 2 p.m., the chief said. It was unclear who fired the shot that struck the child, the chief said, or what the child’s relationship to the shooter was.
The cops definitely shot the kid.
A core discipline in Proletarian Forensics is drawing outlines around the thumb-shaped passive voice voids in official accounts of events
Waiting for the "child found with a gunshot wound after officer-involved firearm discharge" update later this week.
Edit: holy fuck look at this weaselly fucking passive voice
The child is critically injured after being shot in the head and has not been identified. An off-duty Houston police officer and Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission officer were at the church and confronted Moreno. It is unclear if the child was shot in the process or by the suspect.
"shot in the process or by the suspect" fucking christ.
So yeah cops shot the kid too
Yeah they're still saying "it is unknown who shot the child." If it was the shooter they would have figured it out by now and would be blasting it in every single article. 1000% it was the cops.
Agreed. If it were anything less than 100% certain the cops shot the kid it would not be "unclear".
Wasn't this the guy that refused to open up for flood victims?
Yes hopefully only he gets hurt and by that I mean dead
I think he's safe, sadly.
it's never the ones who deserve it
He is safe he just did a presser on CNN, fuck.
A Lakewood parishioner at the scene told CNN affiliate KPRC he was inside the church waiting for the Spanish language service to start when he heard multiple shots fired. The man was then instructed by a church usher to run, he told KPRC.
Obviously this is a developing story and who knows what the motivation was, but do have to wonder if the shooter was targeting the Latino parishioners.
Yeah that jumped into my mind too
Shooter was a Latina and known to the FBI for being unhinged around weapons in the past. Seems unlikely.
Yeah, should take note of that...
Joel osteen deserves much worse
Hey , Joel, go out there and see what she wants!
Something something Fake news Crisis Actors Deep State Plot the shooter was cis
time to check r/masskillers
-looks like shooter has already been shot dead by the popo, 2 injured
Oh wow funny how that works out compared to other mass shooters... 
A coworker of mine actually used to be a deck builder and did work on Joel Osteen's house. At one point he asked if Osteen had any bottled water. Osteen apparently answered "You can use the hose." and slammed the door.
What a nice man of god :)
Lol for a minute I was wondering what the hell your coworker's trading card game hobby had to do with his working on osteen's house
Also what a great story, even if it isn't true I choose to believe it is
apparently there is some talk that she was a poc trans woman (though may be a trans man? god people are shit about reporting on this), damn america is really diversifying shooters 
meth seems involved?
i really hope none of my contacts know about this :\ such a terrible thing. so far police havent confirmed this or not though have hinted at it, most reports sound like its hearsay
so from what I understand it was mostly conservative sites (and LibsofTiktok) identifying her as a trans woman - because she has used the alias "Jeffrey Escalante" in the past. Fox News of course came out with a story "Lakewood Church shooting suspect identified as transgender woman," alleging (based on what I don't know) that she was born in Honduras as "Jeffrey Escalante" - a man. Now they've completely edited that story to say she is a cis woman. Houston Police Department is saying she has always identified as a woman - a conclusion they came to "talking with individuals, interviews, documents."
Police could also be being shitty but it seems as of now the official story is she was a cis woman. Although supposedly she had the words "Palestine" written on her gun so can't wait for the right to latch on to that.
