The doctor who died in the Laguna Woods church shooting in California on May 15, 2022, has been hailed as a hero. Dr John Cheng died from a gunshot wound after he tackled the shooter to the ground. According to Orange County sheriff Donald Barnes, his action saved dozens of lives. The suspect, David Chou, is a Chinese immigrant from Las Vegas, who was born and raised in Taiwan. He was initially mis-identified as being from mainland China. The attack came one day after another mass shooting in Buffalo, New York that left 10 people dead.
