How awful. I wonder why they'd target Osteen's church?

Someone finally snapped after finding out Osteen had scammed their mother penniless and reduced her to eating cat food?

Facts from the radio:
  • It was a woman
  • she did it between services
  • one child and one adult were injured
  • she was killed by two off duty police officers who were working security
Well, that’s what the radio said at least.

Lakewood Church shooter had pro-Palestinian message written on gun, sources tell ABC News

https://abc13.com/lakewood-church-shoot ... /14414345/
A pro-Palestinian message was written on the gun used by a woman accused of firing rounds at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church on Sunday, two sources briefed on the preliminary investigation told ABC News.

Further detail about what exactly the message read was not released. The investigation into the motive of the shooting is still ongoing.

Detectives believe as many as 12 shots were fired, and investigators are actively reviewing a history of arrests they believe the suspect has on her record.

Two people, including a 5-year-old boy, were shot and are in the hospital.

The shooting happened during a Spanish-language service, and could be heard on the church livestream.

I watched the new conference with authorities earlier today. I can't tell you how much parts of it reminded me of the first presser after the Uvalde shooting. Except Abbott wasn't at this one :mad:

1 dead, 5 injured in shooting on platform at Mount Eden subway station in Bronx: police

https://abc7ny.com/bronx-subway-station ... /14415950/
An investigation is underway after a shooting at a subway station in the Bronx left multiple people wounded and one dead.

Six people were shot at around 4:30 p.m. on Monday while waiting on the northbound platform for the No. 4 train at the Mount Eden train station.

Among the victims, ranging in age from 14 to 71, one was pronounced dead at St Barnabas Hospital. He was 34-years-old.

The injuries to the other five -- a 14-year-old girl, 15-year-old boy, 28-year-old man, 29-year-old woman, and 71-year-old man -- are not believed to be life threatening.

During a briefing Tuesday evening, NYPD Chief of Transit Michael Kemper said the incident was "not a random shooting" and noted that it involved two groups of teenagers that were engaged in a dispute while riding a northbound No. 4 train.

Officials say as the train pulled into the station, the doors opened and at least one person displayed a firearm and fired shots.

According to authorities, some of the victims who suffered gunshot wounds are believed to be a part of the initial dispute, although it remains unclear which ones were involved.

Police are investigating whether the 34-year-old victim was involved in the dispute or is an innocent bystander.

Kansas City Parade Shooting
Several Shot in Kansas City Near Super Bowl Victory Rally, Police Say
Two armed people were detained, the police said.


https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/02/14 ... 595e2e6e66
A rally to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs’ momentous Super Bowl victory was marred when several people were shot nearby at the end of the event on Wednesday afternoon, the police said.

Shots were fired near Union Station and several people were struck, the Kansas City Police Department said. It was unclear how many were injured. Two armed people were detained, the police said.

A parade began around 11 a.m., and ended with a rally in front of the train station in Kansas City, Mo. A livestream of the celebration showed a chaotic scene outside as a sea of hundreds of fans in red jerseys fled from the rally.

I know they need time to sort things out but I wonder, since it sounds like two shooters were involved, was this a planned attack on the crowd or personal dispute between people who were both concealed carrying.
