Officials said they believe the shooting inside Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods was a 'politically motivated hate incident” driven by the suspected gunman David Chou’s alleged hatred for Taiwanese people.
Chou is eligible for life without the possibility of parole, or death, according to Spitzer, who said he was at the scene to assess "whether we pursue or seek death with respect to hate crimes.""There's a lot of evidence that absolutely at this point in time indicates that the suspect had an absolute bias against the Taiwanese people," Spitzer said.Authorities said that Chou left notes in his vehicle that detailed his hatred for the Taiwanese community.

Sheriff's officials said that all the parishioners attending were Asian-Americans, ranging in age from sixty-six years old to 92 years old.During Monday's press conference, Orange County officials said Chou immigrated to the US from China.
Homicide investigators said with the help of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, multiple search warrants were served at Chou’s Las Vegas home and a vehicle that was registered in his name in a parking lot. In addition to evidence collected from Chou’s car, police investigators found several bags inside the church containing magazines with additional ammunition for Molotov cocktail-like incendiary devices.
