A man in his 60s is in police custody after a deadly shooting at a Presbyterian church in California, a day after 10 people were killed in a shooting in Buffalo, New York.

Parishioners at a church in southern California have detained a man who allegedly opened fire during a lunch reception on Sunday, killing one person and wounding five others a day after a deadly shooting on America's east coast.

He said a motive for the shooting was not immediately known, but investigators believe the gunman did not live in the community.The majority of those inside the church at the time were believed to be of Taiwanese descent, said Carrie Braun, a sheriff's spokesperson. Mr Hallock said the investigation was in its early stages, and authorities were working to determine whether the assailant attended the service, if he was known to church members and how many shots were fired.The afternoon lunch reception was honouring a former pastor of the Taiwanese congregation, according to a statement from the Presbytery of Los Ranchos, a church administrative body.
