The shooting occurred at Geneva Presbyterian Church, located at 24301 El Toro Road around 1:26pm local time. Orange County Fire Authority said their first responders were on scene “treating and transporting multiple patients.”
Authorities have not shared information on a possible motive at this stage as law enforcement officers continue their investigation.
The incident comes a day after a mass shooting in the state of New York, in which ten people were killed and three others injured after an 18-year-old gunman opened fire at a supermarket in Buffalo. Authorities called it a “hate crime” and “racially motivated violent extremism” as most of the victims were black.
RT (Russia Today) is a state-owned news organization funded by the Russian government. The information provided by this news source is being included by the Libertarian Hub not as an endorsement of the Russian government, but rather because it is being actively censored by Big Tech, Western governments and the corporate press. During times of conflict it is imperative that we have access to both sides of the story so we can form our own opinions, even if both sides are spewing their own propaganda. The censorship of RT, despite likely being a propaganda outfit for the Russian government, reduces our ability to hear one side of the conflict. For that reason, the Libertarian Hub will temporarily republish the RSS feed from RT. Visit https://rt.com
