In a shocking incident on Sunday, a shooting took place at Pastor Joel Osteen's Houston megachurch, which ended after two off-duty officers killed the attacker. The assailant, a 36-year-old woman armed with two weapons, including an AR-15, was shot and killed after opening fire inside the church. Tragically, her 7-year-old son, who was brought along with her, was critically injured in the crossfire.
Now, the shooter's mother-in-law is speaking out, claiming that this horrifying incident could have been prevented. She revealed that her former daughter-in-law had a history of mental illness and that the family had made numerous attempts to seek help over the years. The mother-in-law recounted instances of threats towards family members, including the husband and herself, as well as threats to the young boy's life. Despite their efforts to involve authorities such as Child Protective Services and the police, intervention was not successful. It is alarming to note that the shooter was still allowed to own firearms, despite the concerns raised by her family.
