John Cheng, 52, a family practice physician with South Bay Medical Group in Aliso Viejo, was shot to death after—what all are calling—a selfless, heroic act at a mass shooting on Sunday, May 15, at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California.
The shooting, which killed one and injured five during a lunch gathering after a Taiwanese service, was “politically motivated” by tensions between China and Taiwan, officials said. Dr. Cheng was killed when he charged at the gunman and attempted to disarm him.
