CHONGQING - Police in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality have doubled the reward to 600,000 yuan (US$88,235) for the gunman who killed a guard outside a People's Liberation Army garrison in downtown Chongqing last month. Police on Monday said they still do not have any clues as to the identity of the attacker.
The attacker fired two shots at the guard with a rifle before robbing the guard's submachine gun, the police said. He then ran to a taxi at the side of the Shixin road about 300 meters away from the garrison gate, according to an unidentified witness. The suspect is described as a man between 18 and 45, 1.70 meters tall with an average-build. A surveillance video showed him wearing a light-colored coat, a wool hat and a pair of dark-colored trousers, carrying a white bag in his left hand. He used a rifle and the serial number of the gun he stole from the guard is 13161360. Police said the attacker may have been a former soldier or had received military training. Wang Hongju, mayor of Chongqing who vowed to find the suspect, said the attacker "might have an accomplice". Police had offered a reward of 300,000 yuan after the assault for information related to the suspect, posting four pictures from the video in streets of downtown Chongqing. |
