LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. (AP) — Police say churchgoers detained the gunman who shot multiple people Sunday at a California church, calling their intervention an act of “exceptional heroism and bravery.”

Police say the suspect in the shooting is an Asian male in his 60s who investigators do not believe lives in the community.
The shooting occurred during a lunch banquet after a morning service in the church.
Police say by the time they arrived on the scene the parishioners had the man hog-tied and in custody.
“I think it’s safe to say that had people not intervened, it could have been much worse,” Orange County Undersheriff Jeff Hallock says.
“That group of churchgoers displayed what we believe is exceptional heroism and bravery in intervening to stop the suspect. They undoubtedly prevented additional injuries and fatalities,” Hallock says.
Investigators were interviewing between 30 and 40 witnesses.
Great thoughtful action.
Hope he got kicked in the head a few times to remind him this isnt acceptable behavior !
Things his Mama should have taught him but didnt.
Authorities said he is an “Asian Male”, wonder what they mean by that?
Attack was by an anti Taiwanese, Chinese so this attack will be memory holed like and the other attacks ( waukesha, NY subway) that dont fit the democrats and their media propagandists agenda.
