Dr. John Cheng, 52, was killed on May 15, 2022, during a mass shooting at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California. He was attending a luncheon for the Taiwanese congregation when the gunman entered, chained the doors and opened fire. Dr. Cheng charged the shooter in an effort to disarm him, an action that allowed other parishioners to intervene and subdue the attacker; Dr. Cheng was shot multiple times and died at the scene.

The suspect, identified as 68-year-old David Chou of Las Vegas, was arrested at the scene and charged with one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder. Authorities say the attack was politically motivated and driven by the shooter’s expressed hatred of Taiwanese people. Dr. Cheng was a sports medicine physician and is being remembered by family and the community for his sacrifice.
