Heroic

America lost a good man in California this week. 

An intruder burst into Geneva Presbyterian Church in Orange County last Sunday with guns, explosives and ammunition, well-prepared to kill a large number of people. He had glued and chained multiple doors to trap them in the social hall where they were having lunch together.

Suspect David Chou, longtime U.S. citizen and Las Vegas security guard, had legally purchased the guns. Five were wounded, but the only one who lost his life was the hero.

Dr. John Cheng took gunfire as he charged the perpetrator and tackled him. The other church people, mostly elderly, immediately took action to throw a chair at him, subdue him, and tie him up with an extension cord. 

The district attorney said, "Evil was in that church today . . . He sacrificed himself so that others could live. That irony in a church is not lost on me."

A 52-year-old doctor of sports medicine, Dr. Cheng leaves behind a wife and two children.
