A shooting incident occurred in Wanhua, Taipei City yesterday (19) night, injuring 4 people. The suspect finally shot himself to death. At the end of the year, the three candidates for Taipei mayor almost simultaneously issued a document after the incident, emphasizing that the incident of gun violence affects public order. It was intolerable, and he said that he would work hard to make Taipei a safe city where everyone can live with confidence. It is rare to reach an agreement on the same incident.

It is understood that in this shooting case, the suspect Qiu Guolong, a member of the Wanguo Gang, was suspected of having a dispute with Hong Qingzheng, a fellow gang member. After shooting Hong Qingzheng with a gun at a commercial building near Ximending at night, he went to Qingshan Palace to shoot Xu Wenxu, and then again Xu Wenxu's family was taken hostage to a nearby beverage shop to confront the police. During the hostage-taking period, Qiu Guolong shot out with a gun, causing a police officer surnamed Wang to be shot in the thigh.
