All the victims were Asian American adults and the youngest of the victims is 66 years old.


California: A gunman opened fire in a Southern California church during a lunch reception, killing one person and wounding four, before churchgoers detained the suspect and hog-tied his legs with an electrical cord.
As per details, the incident unfolded at about 1.30pm local time (8.39pm GMT) at the Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods on Sunday. Police responded immediately and arrested an unidentified suspect, an Asian man in his 60s.
The suspect in the shooting was in custody and deputies recovered two handguns at the scene.
The motive for the shooting is yet to be ascertained.
The majority of those inside the church at the time were believed to be of Taiwanese descent.
As per reports, between 30 and 40 members of the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church were gathered for lunch after a morning church service at Geneva when gunfire erupted shortly before 1:30 p.m., officials said.
“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,” said an official.
“I think it’s safe to say that had people not intervened, it could have been much worse,” he added.
All the victims were Asian American adults and the youngest of the victims is 66 years old.
The investigation, however, is underway.
Laguna Woods was built as a senior living community and later became a city. More than 80% of residents in the city of 18,000 people about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles are at least 65.
The incident occurred in an area with a cluster of houses of worship, including Catholic, Lutheran and Methodist churches and a Jewish synagogue.
