Haven't seen this posted anywhere on Sott, but a 'woman' ( perhaps transgender) entered a huge megachurch in Houston on Sunday and open fired. She had a child with her who was killed. She was also killed by officers at the church.
Police in Houston, TX have identified the shooter who opened fire at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church on Sunday as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, Fox News has confirmed.

Moreno, originally from El Salvador, who had a lengthy criminal record, also previously used the name Jeffrey Escalante Moreno, investigators said. The shooter was killed after off-duty police officers at the church responded to the incident. Police said two people were injured – a 57-year-old man and the child who accompanied the shooter. The child is not expected to survive, a Montgomery County District Attorney's Office spokesperson told the Houston Chronicle.

Preliminary reporting indicated the shooter was transgender, but in a Monday news conference, investigators identified her as a woman and the biological mother of the 7-year-old child.

A search warrant showed that Moreno pointed an AR-15 at the officers who then fired upon her and killed her in self-defense.

The preliminary reporting also indicated that the message "Free Palestine" was written on the rifle; investigators said later it was just "Palestine."

Moreno, 36, had a criminal history including convictions for assaulting a police officer in 2009 and forgery in 2010.

Members of the FBI, the Texas Rangers, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the Conroe and Houston Police Departments were investigating a property Monday in Conroe, north of Houston, that was believed to be Moreno's residence, KPRC reported.

The shooting unfolded Sunday afternoon before the Houston megachurch's 2 p.m. Spanish service was set to begin. Moreno entered the church with a long rifle, wearing a backpack and a trench coat and accompanied by the child, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said. After the shooter opened fire, off-duty officers at the scene "engaged" the shooter and returned fire. Moreno was pronounced dead at the scene.

Looks like they are already trying to back down on the transgender idea - but as she's used a male name previously does lend credence to that. Other news stories have indicated that neighbors have filed multiple complaints with Conroe police over the years about this person - all were ignored - or at least police said they could not do anything.

Joel Osteen has always struck me as smarmy and i find it interesting that this happened in his 'church'. His wife got into an altercation with a flight attendant years ago and they were taken off the plane.

We live not too far from this. Strangely my 14 YO daughter woke from a vivid dream that very morning about a man chasing us with a knife. He ended up stabbing me in her dream. Later that day her friends and her went to Bondi Junction (where it happened) at the same time when the stabbing occurred. It even crossed my mind to drive her there beforehand. If I did, it’s likely I would have gone to the shopping centre. Mostly I didn’t as I had some work commitments that afternoon.

Nashville transgender shooter's manifesto 80 pages long was released by court to a newspaper. I can't find anywhere that has published these pages.

It says here:

The Tennessee Star’s parent company, Star News Digital Media, successfully filed two lawsuits to obtain the diary.

Five days after the release of the diary, with the exception of the New York Post, which is a national news outlet, the news coverage was limited to seven other conservative outlets such as The Daily Wire and Newsbusters.

The Tennessee Star (who again filed the law suit) seems to be keeping it, more or less, out of print, although with plenty of references. It may end up being a drip drip series of news releases, yet don't know.

My understanding per reading between the lines via his interviews, the Star has been given already what they are suing to get 'officially' and the contempt is forcing the hand of the courts there having to admit the validity of the information that the court thinks they are in control of. Which obviously they aren't.

Similar playbook that the keeps getting played against the D courts at the federal level.
 
Strange, with all that training and tech, no one is apprehended.


U.S. Air Force security guards exchanged gunfire with a person who shot at the main gate of Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland early Saturday, according to a spokesperson for the base.

An unknown suspect first shot at Air Force Security personnel working the entrance gate to Lackland Air Force base at 2:30 a.m. Security personnel reported the incident, and the base beefed up security, according to a statement from the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD).

Then a little before 5:00, a sedan stopped near the same entrance and shots were fired at Air Force personnel who then exchanged gunfire with the shooter.

“The security personnel stated they heard several shots fired as well as the fired rounds go past them,” according to SAPD spokesperson Washington Moscoso. “After this incident, the security personnel added more armed guards as a precaution. Later that same morning, just before 5:00 am, a sedan stopped on Median Base Rd. East of the same entrance gate to the Lackland AFB/Chapman Training Annex.
“For a second time, shots were fired at the Air Force Security personnel, however, with the additional security personnel present, multiple Air Force personnel returned fire toward the suspect vehicle,” Moscoso added.

According to the Associated Press, no injuries were reported after the guards returned fire with a car that drove by the entrance around 4:30 a.m.

The number of rounds fired, how many shooters, and the motive are still unknown.

“We don’t know what, if anything, started it,” Antosh told the AP. “But it wasn’t an active threat to the installation, and there is no active threat to the installation.” a.m., but the base was not locked down.

The Hill has reached out to comment from Joint Base Lackland.

Alongside Lackland, Joint Base San Antonio also hosts Randolph Air Force Base, Fort Sam Houston and the Camp Bullis training camp.
According to the base’s website, Lackland is home to more than 24,000 active duty members and 10,000 Department of Defense civilians.

Military bases in Texas have seen shootings before, including the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, where a U.S. Army Major shot and killed 13 people and injured 30 others.

In 2020, a gunman tried to speed through a security gate at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, and he wounded a soldier during his attempt. Security personnel shot and killed the man.

In 2016, an airman fatally shot his commander before shooting himself at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.

After over a year-and-a-half of stonewalling and legal battles, the Nashville transgender shooter's journal has finally been released in full.

In March of 2023, Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old self-described "transgender man" (i.e. a woman) who went by the pronouns "he/him," entered a Christian school and opened fire. She left six people dead including three children before several heroic police officers arrived on the scene and stormed the building. Hale was quickly dispatched, a scene later shown by harrowing body-cam footage.

Early on, it was revealed that Hale had left behind several writings that pointed to her motive. Yet, after a brief mention of it during a news conference, all official discussion of the contents of the "manifesto" went dark and a relentless campaign to keep it hidden ensued. More recently, a judge went so far as to claim that Hale's writings were protected under copyright law.

Still, there have been leaks, including one back in November of 2023 that left Nashville's mayor expressing public outrage that the documents had seen the light of day. Now, every page of Hale's "manifesto" has been released by The Tennessee Star, and it answers any remaining questions about why she did what she did.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1831015173592936605

Hale repeatedly cited herself as a "boy" and complained about being born "in the wrong body." She also fantasized about having male genitalia and ranted against people who would address her as a "lady or ma'am." Further, she showed a hatred for white people, including herself. In one part of the journal, she decried her "white privilege," a phrase popularized by the Democratic Party. Hale wrote "white nothingness" on numerous pages and talked about "brown girls." I won't describe the latter in any detail here given the graphic nature of what was written.

The red, lined-page notebook features the name "Aiden" written on the cover. Aiden was the name that the trans-identifying school shooter went by.
The journal opens with the words "Darkness" and "Everything hurts" written on the inside cover, and "Why does my brain not work right?? Cause I was born wrong" written on the first page. "Nothing on Earth can save me," it added. "Never-ending pain. Religion won't save me." Many of the opening pages feature drawings of broken hearts, writing about loving someone, and the abbreviation P.A.P. frequently written in a heart. Hale also frequently wrote of wanting to die...

...On the page following that, Hale wrote about wishing Hale’s father was dead, and being "the most unhappy boy alive." Hale wrote it’s a "terrible feeling to know I am nothing of the gender I was born of."

Multiple pages featured the phrase "white nothingness," and one page stated, "society + politics are scum in this world that nature should wipe clean." Another page read, "w/o my creativity, I am useless + meaningless to society. I am of no society. And I have society b/c society ignores to see me. I’m a queer; I am meant to die."

Hale expressed a desire for her father to die and raged against Christians and religion. The manifesto is 90 pages long, and if you'd like to read specific entries, it can be downloaded here. Again, be warned that much of it is graphic and disturbing.

There is no question that Hale was mentally ill, but that's part of what makes her story so insidious. This was a woman who was clearly radicalized by far-left ideology, including transgender ideology and Critical Race Theory. She truly believed she had been "born in the wrong body" and was a male despite objective reality saying otherwise while seeing white people as sub-human. She then transplanted her frustrations with her situation onto others by blaming Christians. That she targeted a Christian school was not a coincidence.

Keep in mind that the authorities have still not assigned an official motive despite having a wealth of information confirming why Hale committed the shooting. There is no question that she committed this atrocity because she believed religion and society more broadly were not affirming of her "gender identity." She was the killer everyone had been warning about for years as so-called gender ideology gained steam, and everyone with power has tried to hide that fact. That includes law enforcement authorities, judges, and the press. This was a gross cover-up that should be answered for.

Toronto shooting leaves 12 people injured in a mass shooting at a Scarborough pub!

Toronto police Chief Myron Demkiw says investigators “will leave no stone unturned” as they hunt for three suspects who fired shots into a crowded Scarborough pub on Friday night, leaving 12 people injured.

Just hours after a night of celebration turned into chaos, few details have emerged about the masked gunmen who stormed a Scarborough pub, leaving 12 people injured in a mass shooting.

Speaking at a press conference Saturday morning, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow says she is “deeply troubled” after six people sustained serious gunshot wounds, while others were injured by flying glass.

“I’m deeply troubled by this mass shooting… My thoughts are with the victims and their families,” she said.

As investigators continue to examine Friday night’s aftermath, here’s a breakdown of what we know along with new insights from officials.

Police still searching for 3 suspects​

The shooting happened just before 10:40 p.m. at Piper Arms, a newly opened pub near Scarborough Town Centre.

Toronto police said three masked suspects — one armed with an assault rifle and the others with handguns — entered the pub and “opened fire indiscriminately” at multiple patrons.

“They walked into the bar. They produced their guns, and they opened fire,” Supt. Paul MacIntyre of Organized Crime Enforcement said at the scene.

In an email to CTV News Toronto Saturday morning, Toronto police confirmed of the six individuals shot, “most sustained gunshot wounds to the arms and legs.”

Police added that those injuries, while serious, are considered non-life-threatening at this time.

Authorities initially said the three suspects who fled the scene may have escaped in a silver car, but no further details have been confirmed.

“The motive for this shooting remains unclear. We’re chasing down all leads,” MacIntyre said.

‘Deeply troubled’​

At the press conference, Chow said she was at city hall late Friday night, monitoring negotiations between the city and inside workers, when she learned of the shooting.

“As the news came out, I was deeply troubled by this kind of mass shooting,” she said.

When asked whether the incident was connected to the recent string of violent incidents in the tow truck industry this week, Chow declined, adding that she would not like to speculate.

Doug Ford calls shooting ‘brazen act of violence’​

Premier Doug Ford also addressed the shooting in a statement on X.

“The shooting that took place last night in Scarborough was a brazen act of violence that will not be tolerated,” Ford said.

He said his “full support” is behind Toronto police as they work to bring those responsible to justice.

“My thoughts are with the victims and their families, and I’m praying that all those affected by this terrible shooting make a full recovery.”

‘Nothing like this has ever happened’​

Speaking with CP24’s Melissa Duggan on scene, Scarborough Centre councillor Michael Thompson described the incident as a “very sad moment,” adding that “nothing like this has ever happened before for his community.

“Incidents like this today is discouraging and it has tremendous impact on the views and the feelings of people in the community.”

‘Blood all over the floor’​

MacIntyre described a chaotic scene inside the pub.

“When you walk in, it’s kind of eerie. The drinks are still on the table. The food is still on the table. People’s purses, shoes are still in there,” he said.

“There’s a lot of damage to the walls. There’s glass walls that are shattered. There’s blood all over the floor.”

MacIntyre said investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and considering whether the attack was targeted.

“Our investigation will tell us whether or not this pub was targeted for a particular reason,” he said.

Police say residents in the area can expect an increased police presence as they continue to search for suspects. They urge anyone with information including eyewitnesses to come forward.
