A police officer was killed and two others were wounded in a rare gun crime in northeastern China on Monday afternoon.
Police authorities in Changchun, Jilin province, said the killer, a 45-year-old man identified only by his surname Li, was also shot dead in violence that erupted at a property management office.
Police were called to the scene after Li entered the office armed with a knife and began threatening others.
As the officers tried to subdue the man, Li stabbed one of the officers and took his gun.
He then stabbed another officer before opening fire and wounding another policeman as reinforcements arrived, according to the police report.
