The Lakewood shooting suspect's ex-mother-in-law says she had a history of severe mental illness and believes red flag laws could have prevented it.When Walli Carranza first heard about the shooting at Lakewood Church on Sunday, she said she worried that her grandson was at the service with her ex-daughter-in-law, Genesse Moreno.

The Houston Police Department said Moreno opened fire inside Lakewood Church on Sunday with an AR-15 but was taken down by two off-duty officers. She also had a .22-caliber rifle in her possession. Walli Carranza said Moreno "became a very different person" when she wasn't on her medication for schizophrenia and shouldn't have been allowed to have any weapons.

Red flag laws, also known as extreme risk protection orders, allow a judge to temporarily prohibit a person from possessing or purchasing firearms or ammunition. "We must make sure that those judged to pose a grave risk to public safety to not have access to firearms," Trump said back in 2019.
