Drunk accused of shooting shopkeeper to death was cop in Guangxi
Online Edition
A man who was seen shooting death a pregnant woman after his request to have milk tea at her snack store was rejected was a cop in Pingnan County south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, local authority confirmed.
The incident occurred on Monday night, when Hu Ping, drunk and partially clothed, wore a pistol at his waist to the victim’s store, witnesses said.
A local restaurant confirmed that Hu and eight others drank a large amount of liquor that evening, Southern Metropolis Daily reported today.
After leaving the restaurant, three of them stopped at the rice noodle store run by Wu Ying and her husband Cai Shiyong at around 10:10pm, witnesses said.
Customer Zhang Shouxi said Hu demanded milk tea in a loud voice. Wu, who was five months pregnant, said no. The irritated Hu threw the pistol on the table and asked again, which startled Wu, Zhang said.
“When she tuned back, Hu pointed the pistol at my head. I felt too frightened to move and bent over on the table,” Zhang said, “I rushed out immediately on hearing the shooting.”
Cai said his wife ordered Hu to go to another store for milk tea when they saw him targeting a customer. But Hu instead opened fire at Cai, hitting him in the shoulder, and then targeted Wu, Cai said.
Wu was hit by two shots, including one on forehead, and collapsed at the scene. “After he shot my wife, I rushed to grab his pistol and scuffled with him,” Cai said.
Huang Meiying, owner of a nearby hair salon, said Cai grabbed the pistol and local police arrived. Local resident Zhang Peng said Hu was talking nonsense after he was subdued, saying, “Let’s drink! Let’s kill them all.”
The couple was sent to a local hospital but Wu died 15 minutes after arriving.
Wang Hongrong, a publicity official in Pingnan, confirmed Hu was the attacker. But he refused to disclose other details, saying a further investigation is under way, the newspaper reported.
