California shooting

An assailant opened fire during a Sunday dinner at a church in Southern California, killing one person and injuring five others before participants arrested the suspect and tied his legs with an electric wire.

Police arrived at the scene and arrested the suspect in his 60s, Orange County Sheriff’s Deputy Jeff Hollock told a news conference.

“A group of believers showed exceptional bravery and courage in intervening to arrest the suspect. They undoubtedly prevented further deaths and injuries,” Holok said.

“At present, we do not know what the suspect’s motive was, whether he had a motive or whether it was a hate incident,” Halak said, adding that the suspect did not live in the area.

At the time of the shooting, there were about 30-40 people in the church. Two small arms were found at the scene.
