Samuel Moreno-Carranza, age seven, was injured after his mother fired a rifle inside church and police responded, killing her

A boy who was shot in the head at celebrity pastor Joel Osteen’s Houston megachurch on 11 February has lost “a portion of his frontal lobe” while recovering at the hospital, according to his grandmother.

In a Facebook post three days after the shooting, Walli Carranza said her seven-year-old grandson, Samuel Moreno-Carranza, “has lost a major part of what makes us who we are” after “half of his right skull [had] to be surgically removed during two surgeries done in less than 24 hours”. Samuel had endured “cardiac arrest multiple times, and no one can determine whether he has significant brain activity because his scalp tissue is too friable” to let doctors attach electroencephalogram wires to him, Carranza added in a post that doubled as a criticism of the US’s lack of meaningful gun control.

    His Mom was a murderous terrorist supporter, he was fucked before he ever stepped foot into the Church. Poor kid. Hope he gets quality care for the rest of his life.

      He won’t and may already be functionally dead. The chance to save any of these people evaporated a long time ago. It was deemed “not profitable”.

        You’re right. The people who support the cause she had emblazoned on her gun don’t do shit fuck all if it means more than standing next to a flag and posting on social media.

        Hey, next time maybe don’t bring your kid along when you plan on doing terrorist things while supporting a fucking terrorist organization.

        Sucks for the kid, but this is mom’s fault all the way down the line. I say that as a strong acab believer too.
