A woman opened fire with a long gun inside celebrity pastor Joel Osteen's megachurch in Texas on Sunday afternoon before being shot and killed by off-duty police officers, authorities said.

The armed woman, who was between the ages of 30 and 35 years old, entered the Lakewood Church in Houston just before 2 p.m. local time alongside a 5-year-old boy, who was critically wounded in the shootout with police. A 57-year-old man, who is not believed to be involved in the incident, was also shot but is in stable condition, according to Houston Police Chief Troy Finner. ...

When asked if the responding officers shot the child, the police chief told reporters he didn't know. He added, "If it was, unfortunately, and that female, that suspect, put that baby in danger, I'm gonna put that blame on her."
