Stray Bullets hit a convenience store window in Zhonghe District, New Taipei City, yesterday, after a police officer fired four shots at a suspect who pulled a gun on the officers. Fortunately, nobody was injured during the incident.

Police officers investigating suspected drug dealers followed two suspects from a residence in Ximending to a location in Zhonghe District. At around 11:00 pm, a 32 year-old suspect named Chen got out of a car as police approached to question the men. Chen pulled a folding knife out of his pocket and attempted to escape.

As police suppressed the suspect, the other man, 41 year-old Mr Jiang, pulled a gun on the officers at a range of less than 5 meters. Jiang took aim at the back of one of the officers suppressing Chen and pulled the trigger, but the gun jammed.   [FULL  STORY]
