Gunman in Laguna Woods Church Shooting Was Upset Over China-Taiwan Tensions
20:41 GMT 16.05.2022 (Updated: 12:43 GMT 19.06.2023) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The gunman who carried out a fatal shooting at a church in a Taiwanese community in California over the weekend was a Chinese immigrant who was upset about the political tensions between China and Taiwan, Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes said on Monday.
"Based on preliminary information in the investigation, it is believed the suspect involved was upset about political tensions between China and Taiwan," Barnes said during a press conference.
On Sunday, the gunman
opened fire inside a church in Laguna Woods, California, killing one person and wounding five others.
Barnes said two handguns were recovered at the scene and the suspect had also placed several bags with clips of ammunition and Molotov-like incendiary devices around the inside of the church.
Officials identified the gunman as 68-year-old David Chou, a US citizen who immigrated from China and has lived in the United States for many years. He worked as a security guard in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Kristi Johnson, the assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles field office, said the FBI opened a federal hate crimes investigation on Monday to determine further what type of federal charges can be brought against Chou.
Chou was appended by members of the church during the shooting. He is in police custody and has already been charged with one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder in connection to the shooting.
