Officials said they believe the shooting inside Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California was a 'politically motivated hate incident” driven by the suspected gunman David Chou’s hatred for Taiwanese people.

California church shooting victim 'sacrificed himself so that others could live'

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.

"He was not well received while living there, according to what we believe we've collected so far. And that's manifested into this hatred that's combined with the political environment of his hatred of the Thai, not Taiwan, US people between the China and Taiwan, tensions that are currently occurring that answer your questions. That's part of the ongoing investigation," said Sheriff Don Barnes.

Investigators said Chou drove to Orange County on Saturday and was seen in the area around the church. He was not an attendee and does not have any known ties.
