Authorities release details of gunman David Chou in fatal Southern California church shooting
TSB News reports that the suspect in a deadly shooting at a church in Laguna Woods, California, has been identified, authorities said.
David Chou, 68, of Las Vegas, Nevada, was named as a suspect Monday by the sheriff’s department.
“He has been booked on one felony count of murder and five felony counts of attempted murder,” the department said in a tweet.
CNN has not been able to identify an attorney for Chou.
At least one person died and five were wounded — including four who are critically injured — in the shooting Sunday at the Geneva Presbyterian Church, the sheriff’s department said.
“One victim is deceased at the scene,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said in a tweet Sunday.
The shooting happened during a lunch reception to honor a former pastor of a Taiwanese congregation that uses the church for its worship services, according to Tom Cramer, a presbytery leader.
Investigators are working to determine whether he has any connections to the church or its congregants, a statement from the sheriff’s department said.
Police do not yet have a motive, said Hallock.
