In the videos released, it appears at least one of the Houston cops did not quite rise to the level of training needed to handle such a situation. Far from it.

Inside the church, a camera, not picking up audio, captures her entering with parishioners in the concourse before walking out of view. Those parishioners suddenly scramble as a uniformed officer is seen taking cover.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Moreno then reenters the frame, holding a long gun without her son.

It showed officers crouching with handguns out amid the sounds of repeated, loud gunshots.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Praise the Lord and then some that Joel Osteen\u2019s Lakewood Church had a security team.\u00a0 They successfully engaged the would-be spree killer early in her attack and before any churchgoers were harmed. Unfortunately, it didn\u2019t happen as decisively as would have been optimal as her son was critically wounded.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully the incident, and the video from it will help motivate the Lakewood Church security team to bone up on training. Ditto for church security teams nationwide. And the lesson to all gun owners who carry to be prepared in the event of being attacked, training is as important as simply carrying the gun. Because when the brown stuff hits the fan, people don\u2019t rise to the occasion, they default to their training and the muscle memory that comes with it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-next-post-navi\">\n<p>\nNext Post Coming Soon&#8230;\u25b6\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/lakewood-church-shooting-bodycam-released-video\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Screen cap by Boch via YouTube.
