A shooting at Geneva Presbyterian Church near Los Angeles left one person dead and four others critically injured.
Churchgoers demonstrated "exceptional heroism" by subduing the gunman, hogtying him with an extension cord, and confiscating weapons, actions credited with preventing further casualties.
The alleged shooter, an Asian male in his 60s, was apprehended; investigators are working to determine his motive and any connection to the church, noting victims were primarily Asian and of Taiwanese descent.
The incident occurred just one day after a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, underscoring the pervasive issue of gun violence in the United States.
