顶多台湾人自己内乱,大部分台湾老人都是大陆出生的,但是68岁大陆出生,怎么去台湾的?肯定台湾住了很久用台湾身份去美国的,要不然不是Chou
Shooter David Wenwei Chou
Chou is an American citizen and a Las Vegas resident. His wife currently lives in Taiwan. Chou also reportedly lived in Taiwan when he was younger, according to the OC Sheriff's Department, and was not well received there. Calling it a "politically motivated hate incident," they said Chou was apparently motivated by a "hatred" of the Taiwanese people.
Among other details shared by law enforcement officials at a noon press conference:
Chou worked as a security guard and previously lived in other parts of the country, including Texas. He isn't believed by authorities to be associated with any specific church or religion.
Chou allegedly traveled from Las Vegas to Orange County on Saturday.
He faces potential charges up to death, or life in prison without parole. A federal hate crimes investigation has been opened, which will help determine what federal charges are brought in this case.
