Gunfire erupted inside one of America’s biggest churches Sunday. A shooting at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston injured two people before the shooter was killed. Police are praising the quick response of two off-duty officers for preventing a greater tragedy.

Video showed a livestream in Spanish from Lakewood shortly before an afternoon service. Then shots can be heard as the shooting began.

Houston police say a woman in her early 30s wearing a trench coat entered the church with a rifle and a backpack and immediately opened fire. 

Levi Andrade who was in the church said, “I was just walking up the stairs and when I got on top they started shooting. I don’t know, I just heard more than 10 shots.”

Another eyewitness, Alan Guity, said, “They were repetitive, Boom, boom, boom, boom. And I yelled, ‘Mom!'”

Two off-duty police officers working at the church shot and killed the attacker.

A young boy between four and five years of age, who was with the female shooter, was hit by gunfire and was listed in critical condition overnight at a Houston area hospital.

A 57-year-old man in the church was shot in the leg and is also being treated.
