Houston police have released surveillance and body camera video, more than two weeks after the Feb. 11 shooting at Lakewood Church. The video shows the terror of the brief attack.
The gunfire that shattered the calm at pastor Joel Osteen’s megachurch in Houston only lasted about four minutes.
But surveillance video and police body camera footage released Monday, more than two weeks after the Feb. 11 shooting at Lakewood Church, showed the terror of the brief attack: Parishioners scattering, searching for safety in rooms and hallways. Officers drawing guns and taking cover behind walls. And the shooter’s 7-year-old son covering his ears during the chaos, and moments later laying on the floor after being shot and wounded.
“Put the weapon down, now,” an officer can be heard shouting before firing his weapon. Another officer cautions: “She may have a bomb.”
