A gunman killed one person and wounded five others at a church in Southern California on Sunday, authorities said, the second high-profile mass shooting to shake the country in just over 24 hours.
The attack happened during a lunch reception hosted by a Taiwanese congregation after a Sunday service at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, a small city in Orange County, church leaders and police said.
Those who confronted the gunman displayed “exceptional heroism and bravery,” he said, adding that “it’s safe to say that had people not intervened, it could have been much worse.” The five people who were wounded — a 66-year-old man, 75-year-old man, 82-year-old man, 86-year-old woman and 92-year-old man — were all of Asian descent,The sheriff’s office said Sunday night that it was withholding identification of the person who was killed until next of kin could be notified.Officials said they would publicly identify the suspect once he was booked into the Orange County Jail.
“Please keep the leadership of the Taiwanese congregation and Geneva in your prayers as they care for those traumatized by this shooting,” Cramer said in a statement.
