"Former Mother-in-Law Warned of Texas Shooter's Intentions Before Church Attack"

The former mother-in-law of the woman who opened fire at a Houston megachurch had tried for years to alert authorities and church staff about her ex-daughter-in-law’s mental health struggles, but nothing came of her actions. Genesse Moreno entered the church with her 7-year-old son and opened fire, injuring two people, including her son, before being gunned down by security officers. Concerns about Moreno's mental health and access to guns were raised, but no action was taken. The church said they had no records of Moreno's mother attending and could only offer spiritual counseling. Texas law bans felons from owning guns, but Moreno's misdemeanors did not trigger a ban, and the state lacks a "red flag" law for seizing guns from those deemed dangerous.
