TL;DR Summary

David Chou, accused of fatally shooting one person and wounding five others at a Southern California church luncheon last year, has been charged with 98 counts including weapons and explosives charges and forcefully obstructing the free exercise of religion. The attack was motivated by political hatred of Taiwan. Chou had no prior connection to the church and spent an hour with attendees before the attack, apparently to gain their trust, then closed the doors and started shooting. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of death or life in prison without parole.
