The perpetrator of the Houston church shooting was Latina and had the word "Palestine" written on her rifle. The aggressor was identified as Genesse Ivonne Moreno.

She took her 5-year-old son to the temple where she opened fire and was killed by officers. A minor is critically injured and a man is injured in the leg. The targeted church is attended by about 45,000 people a week, making it the third largest in the United States, according to the Hartford Institute for Religion Research.
