The glass door of a tea shop was smashed into a beehive. Image source: Taiwan\u2018s China Times News Network.<\/p>\n<p>The report said that the incident occurred around 10 a.m. on the 5th, when a 17-year-old boy surnamed Lee held a gun and fired violently at the glass door of an unopened teahouse. Police corroborated that the boy fired at least 25 shots, \u201cwith a strong warning meaning.\u201d The police\u2018s CCTV footage showed that the young gunman displayed a calmness that didn\u2018t match his age when committing the crime. When the bullet got stuck during the crime, he didn\u2018t panic and flee, but skillfully changed the second magazine and continued firing. The crime process lasted only about 10 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>It is known that this teenager took a taxi around the city for nearly 50 minutes after committing the crime, and finally chose to report to the police station 9 kilometers away from the scene of the crime. The media said it appeared to be \u201ca deliberate sacrifice of the near for the far.\u201d During the recording of the statement, the teenager confessed to the police that the motive for the shooting was a drunken dispute with a tea shop employee a few days ago, and in a moment of anger, he decided to take revenge. The gun was left behind by a deceased friend, \u201cin an attempt to shoulder all criminal responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Taiping District Police said that they have now brought the relevant persons involved in the case back to investigation according to law. The media said that although the youth claimed that the cause of the incident was a drunken conflict, his precise bullet-changing technique and meticulous route of committing the crime made the police suspect that there might be a mob behind it. According to the introduction, the youth surnamed Lee will be transferred to juvenile court for investigation, and the police will continue to investigate the motive for the crime and the source of the gun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to China Time News Network, Sanli News Network, and other media outlets reported on February 6, a shooting incident occurred in Taiping District, Taizhou City, Taiwan, on February 5.&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8021,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,265],"tags":[4295,3936,4294],"views":118,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8020"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8020"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8022,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8020\/revisions\/8022"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
