It was NOT church security, officisls stated it was off duty law enforcement…the church security officer was unarmed.
Jeffery G Escalante's arrest for assault in 2010 was flagged immigration detainee. That needs explaining.
So, the FBI NICS system failed again, meaning the federal background check which is universal did nothing, sad what happened to the child and the elderly man but I wonder when the federal government will wake up and do their job and stop blaming FFL's and law abiding gun owners, the blame is not the instrument but the human using it, all those felonies and the FBI missed it again.
No AR-15 was used during the afternoon yesterday every news reporter was saying its a 22cal longgun.
You can't just change the story and say she had a AK-47 or some other gun because it sounds more expensive.
This doesn’t happen in Rυςςια, nor CΗίΝα, why always in the USA ? ( And other western nations).
Another trans shooter?
She idenitified as a man….dont forget that part
Sorry you can't use the mental illness excuse that's only for the people of stupids……..
How can someone with a criminal history purchase a high power rifle legally?
He did not legally purchase the firearm. Why is this news site telling so many lies?
Jeffrey is a Latino man who wasn't supposed to be in America. He was not a woman, he dressed as a woman. BIG difference.
He damns Man Genesse-Moreno Transgender has a lengthy criminal history that dates back to at least 2005, having been charged with numerous violent offenses under his former name of Jeffrey Escalant
This was a tragic incident. I hate the kid was used to shield this nut. What the mainstream news isn’t telling you is the woman/man yeah that’s right a transgender. Also they are not going to tell you he/she has many mug shots been in trouble in the past. What they are not going to tell you is he/she was from El Salvador listed as a white person on his/her record. Why they are not going to tell the truth because it destroys their narrative. This is another tragic incident to go after the 2nd amendment, let’s not forget it was two off duty officers with guns that stopped the threat. Without them msny more get hurt. So mainstream tell the truth to the people.
woman has a penis..that poor child,…so sick..where is the mom?
So is s/he trans or not? And if we don't know, could we at least make that clear? CNN's report didn't even mention the issue, which is creepy AF!
Legally? I don't think so!! She had a history of mental illness and criminal backround..
Jeffery* Moreno. Fixed it for you. YW
Why do democrats want to take our guns away when criminals can still purchase them!
How was he she able to buy a firearm with many mugshots? Why?
Makes no sense to me!
Firearms now don't make me any happy safe like they used to anymore!
The mainstream media censors the truth and protects the lies.
She used her son has a body armor just like Hamas.
To all you women calling this thing a she, good on ya men don't claim this thing anyway. Congrats on diluting your gender.
I think the press is as mentally ill as the shooter. Whatever happened to telling it like it is?
I live thousands of miles away from Texas, but my heart is saddened by this tragic event, my prayers for everyone affected, specially the innocent child in critical condition, and the shooter as well, for now she has entered into eternity where she will have to render an account for what she did. Pastor Joel Austin is a great and genuine man of God, and those on the side of the truth know it.
Stay aware of your surroundings and be prepared to defend yourself at all times.
She couldn't find a sitter?
She didn't purchase legally AR15
He didn't legally buy the rifle! Stop lying
I understood she was already a convicted felon, so she couldn't legally purchase a firearm.
Maybe she didn't like olsteen and what he stands for
folks, if she had a long criminal and mental health record, she DID NOT LEGALLY PURCHASE any firearm. Laws were broken BEFORE the shooting. Most likely either police or medical providers failed to report her crimes and/or health to NICS, but she was a prohibited person. The laws that are there that could have stopped this were not followed. Stop making misleading reports.
