LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. — When a gunman began shooting at a Taiwanese American church luncheon, Shoei Su said he froze.
Authorities say the gunman, David Chou, 68, of Las Vegas, was motivated by hatred of Taiwan, where he was born and grew up after his family was forced from mainland China when Communists took control. He had no connection to the church but spent about an hour with attendees apparently to gain their trust so he could execute his plot, authorities said.
Cheng was the only person killed. Five others were wounded, including four men aged 66 to 92 and an 86-year-old woman.
