SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — The man accused of opening fire on a Southern California church congregation because of his political hatred for Taiwan sent a newspaper a seven-volume diary before the attack.
The Chinese-language World Journal bureau in the Los Angeles area said it received the stacks of photocopied pages and a flash drive on Monday — a day after authorities say David Chou opened fire on people at a luncheon at a Taiwanese church in Laguna Woods.
The paper said the title referred to a “destroying" angel opposed to Taiwan's independence from China.
The newspaper's attorney tells The Orange County Register he will turn them over over to police when he receives a subpoena.
Chou is charged with murder and attempted murder.
