David Chou jammed the doors shut using chains and superglue as dozens of parishioners enjoyed a post-service banquet at the church in Laguna Woods, near Los Angeles.
The 68-year-old, an American citizen who hails from China, also hid bags containing Molotov cocktails and spare ammunition around the building, before opening fire with two handguns, in what investigators say was a "methodical" attempt to inflict carnage.
"We know that he formulated a strategy that he wanted to employ," Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes said.
Chou, who works as a security guard in Las Vegas, launched the attack out of "politically motivated hate...(and) was upset about political tensions between China and Taiwan."
Details emerged Monday of the heroism of one parishioner, who tackled Chou as he began shooting.
John Cheng, a doctor, charged Chou in a bid to bring him to the ground, allowing others to hogtie him until police arrived.
"Without the actions of Dr. Cheng there is no doubt that there would have been numerous additional victims in this crime," said Barnes.
"Unfortunately, after Dr. Cheng tackled the suspect he was hit by gunshots and he was pronounced deceased at the scene."
