A shooting at a church in Laguna Woods has left multiple people injured. This is upsetting and disturbing news, especially less than a day after a mass shooting in Buffalo. This should not be our new normal. I will work hard to support the victims and their families.

What breaks my heart is, of course the churchgoers welcomed him when he attended service, but the suspect even spoke Taiwanese to everyone. Then he chained all the exits shut from the outside before he started shooting during a photo opp.
