The woman who opened fire earlier this month at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church before being shot and killed by off-duty police officers on the scene was previously arrested on gun charges, according to a police report.

Genesse Ivonne Moreno, originally from El Salvador, was arrested by Katy, Texas, police on April 2, 2022 after being pulled over in a black Infinity sedan police say had an expired registration and no front license plate. 

The officer conducting the traffic stop smelled marijuana “emitting from the interior of the vehicle” and “observed a tan in color custom AR15 rifle in plain view on the passenger side seat,” the case report states. 

The officer states the rifle was “equipped with two 30 round magazines” and was loaded when located.

Moreno had her 7-year-old son in tow at Lakewood Church on Feb. 11. He was shot in the head and continues to fight for his life.   

The Houston Police Department released body camera footage of their response to the active shooter situation on Monday.
