A man accused of fatally shooting one person and wounding five others at a church luncheon last year has been charged with dozens of federal hate crimes in connection with the attack, which investigators said was motivated by political hatred of Taiwan.
Flowers sit near crime scene tape at Geneva Presbyterian Church, Tuesday, May 17, 2022, in Laguna Woods, Calif., after a fatal shooting at the church.
The indictment announced Thursday by the U.S. Department of Justice charges David Chou, of Las Vegas, with 98 counts including weapons and explosives charges and forcefully obstructing the free exercise of religion.Messages seeking comment from attorneys who have represented Chou, 69, in a separate case in state court were not immediately returned.
Among the charges were 45 counts of obstructing free exercise of religious beliefs by force, “which resulted in the death of one person, included attempts to kill 44 others, and involved the use of a firearm and attempted use of explosives and fire,” the Justice Department said in a statement.
