A KNIFEMAN was shot dead by policemen in a Tesco parking lot in east China last night after he kidnapped an 11-year-old boy, a Nanjing-based newspaper reported today.
The man grabbed the boy and held a knife to his neck when he was with his mother in Wuxi City of Jiangsu Province about 5:40pm, according to Modern Express.
The mother managed to escape and witnesses called police. Police reached the site in three minutes and cordoned off the area with dozens of cars and more than 100 police. Armed policemen were dispatched at entrance and other key positions.
The knifeman held the boy hostage in his mother's car, wounding him. He had adjusted all the car mirrors in a bid to foil a surprise police attack, and threatened to kill the boy when officers approached.
He asked for 30,000 yuan (US$4,392) in ransom money. As shoppers gathered round, two gunshots were heard around 7:20pm, the report said.
The kidnapper was shot dead at the scene with the boy rushed to hospital, where he is in a stable condition.
The man tried to kidnap someone else but failed, and then he fled to the Tesco basement and kidnapped the boy, a witness told reporters.
