<p>Churchgoers overpowered and &#8220;hog-tied&#8221; a gunman after he opened fire in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california">California</a> house of worship, killing one and injuring five more, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-05-15/multiple-people-shot-at-church-in-laguna-woods-o-c-sheriff-says">authorities said</a>.</p>
<p>The attack came early Sunday afternoon inside Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, where a Taiwanese congregation was having a lunch banquet following services, police said. After the gunman started shooting, church members grabbed him, took two handguns from him and &#8220;hog-tied&#8221; him with an extension cord, police said.</p>
<p>&#8220;That group of churchgoers displayed what we believe is exceptional heroism and bravery,&#8221; Orange County Undersheriff Jeff Hallock said. &#8220;It&#8217;s safe to say that had they not intervened this situation could have been much worse.&#8221;</p>

<p>Four of the shooting victims were in critical condition.</p>
<p>Police did not disclose a motive for the shooting, which came just one day after an 18-year-old suspect killed 10 and wounded three in what is believed to have been a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/buffalo-mass-shooting-suspect-had-been-flagged-as-troubled-a-year-ago-report">racially- motivated attack at a Buffalo, N.Y., market</a>.</p>
<p>All of the victims in the California attack were adults, and the oldest of those killed was 92, according to authorities.</p>
<p>Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes told reporters<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> roughly 40 people were inside </span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">church</span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> during </span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">shooting</span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">.

<p>The Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church holds a 10 a.m. service at Geneva, according to <a href="http://irvinetpc.org">its website</a>.</p>
<p>Tom Cramer, a former pastor at the Geneva Presbyterian Church, told the LA Times the shooting occurred during a lunch reception honoring a former pastor of the Taiwanese church who is returning to Taiwan. Cramer said he did not know if that pastor was among the victims.</p>
