On Sunday, a pastor from the Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California, who was visiting his former congregation, was said to have assisted in subduing a shooter by striking him with a chair. This information was brought to our attention by witnesses.
According to Jerry Chen, a member of the Geneva Presbyterian Church who is 72 years old and told the Los Angeles Times, “I heard the gun sounds.” “Another two or three shots were fired after that. He was completely out of the blue in his assertion.”
