Police shoot dead armed robber

POLICE shot dead an armed man holding two women hostage in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, after nearly two hours of negotiations failed, local officials said on Saturday.

The 26-year-old jobless man from Hubei Province, surnamed He, was in a stand-off with police in Shuiwei Village after he broke into a house in the village but failed to flee before being discovered. He held two women in the house, threatening them with a knife and a fake gun as he tried to convince police to allow him to escape. Police shot and killed the armed man at about 2pm, after talks broke down.
