Church Shooter Attended and Worshiped at Lakewood, Battled Schizophrenia, Says Rabbi Grandmother
The woman who opened fire at Lakewood Church before being shot by officers was a regular attendee and worshiped there, according to the former mother-in-law of the perpetrator.
Walli Carranza, a Jewish Rabbi, says that as soon as she heard the news of the shooting, “I suspected…that this could be my daughter-in-law.”
In an interview with KHOU news, Carranza explained that while she didn’t know the exact reason Genesse Moreno shot up Lakewood, the place where she worshiped and had given money to, she suspected it had to do with mental illness and the stress and frustration and custody battle with her ex-husband (who, not for nothing, is a convicted sex offender and pedophile.)
She had a particular kind of schizophrenia that caused her to become violent. She threatened her husband’s life, she threatened mine, she threatened to kill her own son and we still couldn’t get intervention….We asked for help from CPS. … We’ve asked for help from police and received it many times but she was still allowed to own guns,”
Walli echoed these statements in a Facebook post, defending the officers who killed Moreno and reiterating her mental illness, which police have confirmed.
No one may ever blame a police officer who carries out his or her rightful duty to save lives even if they are found responsible for shooting my grandson. The fault lies in a child protective services of Montgomery County and Harris County that refused to remove custody from a woman with known mental illness that was not being treated and with the state of Texas for not having strong red flag laws that would have prevented her from owning or possessing a gun
She also noted:
My daughter-in-law when she was taking medication for schizophrenia was a very sweet and loving woman. But mental illness is real illness and when family members seek emergency protections they’re not doing so for their own sake but for the sake of the person who is ill….. And to protect her child and society.”

Did you ever notice that no one ever defines “mental illness”? EVER. Why?
Because there is no agreed upon definition, which tells us all we need to know. Because people want and need this to be ambiguous, unknown, and undefined, because if it was defined then all the many problems with this notion would be easily exposed. Because this undefined, unknown, subjective fallacy is needed to blame things on, rather than where the responsibility actually lies (often with more than one thing). And because our mind (which is non-physical) cannot have a disease (which is physical). Nevertheless, this is repeated ad nauseum, therefore people just believe it.
Are there female, Jewish rabbis now? Good grief. And the rabbi is blaming CPS, the county, the government. She knew about this issues. The family knew about the issues. Shouldn’t the family be the most accountable?What a mess. Question: Does God count mental illness as an excuse for sinful behavior? Does salvation and sanctification work on most situations, but then mental illness is outside of God’s control?
As per my comment, you stated mental illness, but by what definition? You also assert that it is, in fact, a real thing, but what does that phrase even mean, or how can it be defined (again, no one really defines it).

And we know she was on a cocktail of antidepressants likely including SSRIs …
