A DRUG dealer jumped to his death from a 10th-floor apartment after shooting and injuring a policeman in Chengdu, capital of southwest China’s Sichuan Province, yesterday.

Witnesses said police took away a man and a woman about 2:50pm. They said the man was wearing a white T-shirt and the woman was wearing a pink dress.
Police said a fourth suspect escaped and was on the run. Their investigation is ongoing.
