The Houston Police Department released body camera footage on Monday, of the response to an active shooter who opened fire at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church earlier this month.
At 1:53 p.m. on Feb. 11, Genesse Ivonne Moreno, originally from El Salvador, began shooting a gun at the mega church before ultimately being shot and killed by off-duty police officers on the scene.
Moreno also had her 7-year-old son in tow, who was shot in the head and continues to fight for his life.
In a social media post, the Houston Police Department released video captured from the moment gunfire rang out in the western halls of the church, until the shooter was down.
“We realize the video of this shooting may be unsettling to members of the community. HPD is releasing it as part of our commitment to release critical incident videos within 30 days,” Houston Police Department Chief Troy Finner said in a statement on social media.
The four videos released by the department show various aspects of the incident, including surveillance footage and body camera footage from three law enforcement officials.
