A shooter who was killed by off-duty police officers after opening fire at a Houston megachurch while seemingly using a 7-year-old child as a human shield has been identified as a woman named Genesse Moreno, who police said had a string of aliases and a history of mental health problems.
Police said on Dec. 12 that whilst one of Moreno’s multiple aliases was that of a man named Jeffrey Escalante, she had always identified as a woman, and was the biological mother of her 7-year-old child.
