A young child between the ages of 5 and 9 was shot at pastor Joel Osteen’s Houston megachurch on Sunday, according to officials.

First responders descended on Lakewood Church after reports of shots fired there were made around 2 p.m. local time. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said shortly after that a suspect was “down,” though their condition was not immediately clear.
