SANTA ANA, Calif.—A Taiwanese immigrant accused of opening fire inside a Laguna Woods church, killing one person and injuring five others in an attack authorities say was motivated by a grievance against the Taiwanese community over Taiwan’s political tensions with China, was charged on Tuesday, May 17, with capital murder and nine other felonies.
David Wenwei Chou, 68, of Las Vegas, made a brief court appearance Tuesday afternoon on the charges stemming from the shooting, which occurred around 1:25 p.m. Sunday, targeting a Taiwanese congregation inside the Geneva Presbyterian Church, 24301 El Toro Road.
