A security guard who shot and killed a man wielding samurai swords on the grounds of a Scientology facility in Hollywood will not face criminal charges, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said Wednesday.

The decision by prosecutors was in line with the conclusion of Los Angeles police detectives, who determined that the guard, a 64-year-old retired Seal Beach police officer, acted in defense of himself and other guards at the church’s Celebrity Centre.

The reasons for Majorski’s transformation from fervent believer to attacker remained a mystery Monday.

A church spokesman said the 48-year-old had not participated in Scientology activities for more than a decade, but in recent years he had made a series of threatening phone calls to church offices in Los Angeles and Oregon, where he had been living.

A former Scientologist who went to the church’s Celebrity Centre in Hollywood armed with two samurai swords and apparently tried to attack security guards, one of whom fatally shot him, was identified today as an Oregon resident.

Mario Majorski, 48, of Florence, Ore., died at County-USC Medical Center, according to police and coroner’s officials.

Security guards shot and killed a man who was reportedly wielding a sword at the Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood Sunday, police said.

The man, whose name has not been released, was approached by security personnel who later shot him in the parking lot of the center, Jerrett said.
