People are still, murdering one another, for so little these days here! Crimes in progress, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Lee and Chang, a few days ago, had an altercation after getting drunk, in the broad day light yesterday, Lee shot Chang seven times on the streets of Taishan District, Hsinbei City, the bullets passed through Chang’s rear, after he was rushed to the hospital, he wasn’t in life-threatening danger; after Lee fired at Chang, he’d turned himself in to the Sinchuang Police Substation, the case is being prosecuted as attempted murder and owning of illegal firearms by the Hsinbei District Attorney’s Office.
Based off of understanding, Lee and Chang were once best friends, because they had a fight at a friend’s banquet awhile ago, Lee believed that Chang was intentionally, insulting him, they got on one another’s bad sides, and if that was what drove Lee to shoot Chang, the police are still, examining the details thoroughly.
After Lee turned himself in, he’d claimed, that he just wanted to scare Chang, that he’d not intended, to kill him. Chang worked in Taipei, the neighbors described him as a simple guy.
Lee (age 20) who’d fired at Chang, on the night before, he’d ridden his scooter to Chang’s residence in Taishan, Hsinbei City to block him, but wasn’t successful; yesterday at around one in the afternoon, he took a cab from Danshui to Sinchuang, and bumped into Chang (age 34) who was just headed out to lunch, he’d pulled out the gun he carried, then, fired at him repeatedly.
As Chang saw Lee holding the gun, he rushed into the food shop close by, Lee chased after him, fired a few more shots, Chang used the chaos, made his getaway, ran home.
The shop owner stated, that the suspect opened fire so suddenly, that he couldn’t react, only ducked, instinctively, behind the counter, and, no more than thirty seconds after the suspect fired his gun, he’d, hopped on his scooter, and gotten away.
And so, this, is how these friends turned into, enemies, because of something, so minor, and yes, alcohol was also, a major player in this, because had they not gotten drunk, then, the man wouldn’t have, taken this big an offense, thinking that the other man was, insulting him, and reacted, violently toward him.
