A motive for why a woman in a trenchcoat opened fire in celebrity pastor Joel Osteen's megachurch in Texas .

Police say two off-duty officers working security at the church, one of the largest megachurches in the U.S. , shot and killed the suspect.

Two other people were also shot and injured, including a 5-year-old boy who entered the church with the shooter and was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Osteen says violence could have been worse if the shooting had happened during the earlier and larger late Sunday morning service.
