Man shoots three dead, himself in Hunan court

A man killed himself after shooting three judges dead and injuring another three judges in a local court office today in central China's Hunan Province, said local authorities.

The incident happened at about 10:05 am at Lingling District People's Court in Yongzhou City, according to the authorities.

The gunman, Zhu Jun, barged into an office on the fourth floor of the court building. He shot the judges in the office before killing himself, said the authorities.

Zhu, 46, was head of the security squad of the branch post bureau of Lingling District, they said.

Around 7:30 am, Zhu took a submachine gun and two pistols from his subordinate after telling the lie that he would get the guns examined by the higher authorities, they said.

Zhu, who had a son, divorced his wife three years ago.
