Lakewood Church shooting suspect identified

HOUSTON (Nexstar) -- The woman suspected of opening fire at Houston's popular Lakewood Church on Sunday is 36-year-old Genesse Ivonne Moreno, according to a search warrant Nexstar obtained Monday.

On Sunday afternoon, a woman entered Pastor Joel Osteen's megachurch armed with a long gun, the Houston Police Department said Sunday. The suspect shot and injured one man before being killed by two off-duty security officers. A child was also shot in the incident and is not expected to survive.

The search warrant states Moreno was armed with an AR-15 and threatened to have a bomb. An officer on scene observed she has "substances consistent with the manufacture of explosive devices," though it is not known now whether the threat was credible.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission identified one of the off-duty officers as agent Adrian Herrera, who was working security for the church at the time of the shooting.

“While we are still gathering the facts on what took place at Lakewood Church, I can say that I’m extremely proud of the quick response of our agent as well as the other law enforcement agents on the scene,” TABC Chairman Kevin Lilly said. “These officers likely prevented a much greater tragedy through their brave actions.”

Houston Police Chief Troy Finner and Mayor John Whitmire are hosting a press conference in Houston on Monday at 1:30pm. KXAN will stream that conference at the top of this page and on Facebook.
