At around 7 p.m. on May 30 in Chongqing city, central China, a traffic police officer fatally shot a 49-year-old man. The official police statement provided very little information about the incident, claiming the man attacked the policeman first. However, one eyewitness provided a more detailed account to The Epoch Times, raising concerns about the policeman’s actions.
According to the Beipei District Police Station statement published on its social media Weibo account, the unidentified man and his wife attacked the police before he was shot. However, no further details were provided, and no official police video was released. At the time of writing, the Weibo notice, released on the morning of May 31, is the only official statement about the incident.
