Female suspect fatally shot after shooting at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church

I can’t even begin to comprehend the level of insanity and cruelty that must be present in a person to bring a child along to commit such a heinous act of violence. It is absolutely appalling and leaves me questioning the mental state of this individual. What impact will this traumatic event have on the child?
