A person entered the Texas church of well-known television preacher Joel Osteen and opened fire with an AR-15 on Sunday afternoon, police said. The person, who was holding a young boy with them, fired the AR-15 which had the phrase "Free Palestine" on it, according to media reports. Off-duty officers who were working as security at the church near Houston shot and killed the shooter before they could kill anyone. The person had a history of disturbed behavior and run-ins with law enforcement. The boy also was shot and critically wounded but it was not immediately clear who had shot him.
