A pro-Palestinian message was written on the gun used by a woman accused of firing rounds at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church on Sunday, two sources briefed on the preliminary investigation told ABC News.
Further detail about what exactly the message read was not released. The investigation into the motive of the shooting is still ongoing.
Detectives believe as many as 12 shots were fired, and investigators are actively reviewing a history of arrests they believe the suspect has on her record.
Two people, including a 5-year-old boy, were shot and are in the hospital.
The shooting happened during a Spanish-language service, and could be heard on the church livestream.
Authorities said the shooter was killed by two off-duty officers.
It all unfolded as thousands of people were packed inside the megachurch.
