Doctor, Baylor Grad ‘Sacrificed Himself’ To Save Others During Racially Motivated Church Shooting

May 18, 2022 by Staff

New details are emerging about Sunday’s fatal shooting at Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in Southern California. Authorities say the 68-year-old gunman, a U.S. citizen who grew up in Taiwan, was spurred to carry out the church shooting by hatred toward Taiwan. But he had no known direct connections to the congregation, which meets at Geneva Presbyterian in Laguna Woods.

A federal hate-crimes investigation is underway, and the suspect is being held on $1 million bail.
