“I want to say thank you to everyone who prayed for us in this difficult time,” Billy Chang whispered into a microphone during a prayer vigil held in Irvine for the victims of the Laguna Woods church shooting. By theCindyCarcamo & GregoryYYee
Billy Chang stood before the crowd, his voice faltering as he tried to find the strength to speak a day after a gunman, allegedly fueled by hatred of the Taiwanese community, opened fire at a Laguna Woods church.
Chang took off his glasses. Tears welled up and a group of pastors and local officials embraced him and prayed as he wept. In an interview with The Times, Chang said he was one of the congregants who tackled the suspect. He and his wife heard the gunshots during the luncheon but weren’t sure what to think.He looked around and saw others had crouched down and realized the sound was of gunshots.“He got scared. I don’t think he expected someone to attack him,” he said.
Investigators have provided few details but said they believe the deadly attack was a politically motivated hate incident. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Carrie Braun said he was booked on one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder.
