"Ex-Mother-in-Law Warned: Lakewood Church Shooting Was Predictable and Preventable"

The ex-mother-in-law of the Lakewood Church shooter, Genesse Ivonne Moreno, described the attack as "predictable and preventable," citing a history of mental illness and a bitter family conflict. Moreno, who brought her 7-year-old son to the church and opened fire, was killed by armed guards, while the boy remains hospitalized in critical condition. The shooter's ex-husband and neighbors detailed years of alarming behavior, including displaying swastikas and pointing a rifle at children, but claim that law enforcement and officials failed to take meaningful action. The grandmother also criticized child protective services and the lack of red flag laws, emphasizing the need for preventive measures in cases involving known mental illness.
