One of the largest megachurches in the country was a target of a shooting Sunday afternoon.

Investigators say an armed woman in a trench coat, accompanied by a young child, reportedly entered Joel Osteen’s  Lakewood Church between two services and opened fire.

The five-year-old boy who was with the suspect and a 56-year-old man inside the church were shot and injured. The child is in critical condition while the man’s condition is unknown at this time.

The woman was shot and killed by off-duty police inside the church shortly after. The suspect also claimed to have a bomb, but police said no explosive devices were found on her body or in her vehicle, and the church complex was searched as well.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott shared his condolences to everyone involved.

An investigation is underway to reveal a motive.
