Police in Houston said they’re investigating the death of a shooting suspect Sunday after gunfire was reported at pastor Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church.
Authorities said they were called about a shooting shortly after the church’s Spanish-language service started at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the gunman was shot and killed by responding officers during the chaos.
Police haven’t said whether there were more shooters involved or how many shots were fired.
Authorities also haven’t said if anyone else was wounded by gunfire.
A woman who witnessed the shooting told local ABC affiliate KTRK-TV that “the whole church started praying and declaring Jesus’ name” when shots rang out.
“I was like, ‘This might be the last time I get to pray, that I get to glorify the name of Jesus, so I’m going to do this,’” said the woman, whom the station didn’t identify.
