It was right out of a Hollywood gangster movie: A man with a home-made pistol shoots a senior police officer and holds off a well-equipped police team for 10 hours before he is shot dead.

…

According to a police news release, when local police officers and community staff were doing a routine inspection of rented accommodation - typically to check for suspicious activity - Chen Guosheng, a man in his 40s living in one of the fifth-floor apartments, suddenly pulled out a pistol and fired two shots at around 10:20 am.

Witnesses said police fired shots into the sky after securing the area but the suspect was not cowed.

After confronting the police for about three hours, Chen Guosheng was cornered in a room at about 1:30 pm.

But then began another seven hours of a standoff, at end of which gun shots and explosions were heard.

The denouement came at around 8 pm, when police fired teargas, broke open the door to the room and shot him. Police declared him dead 15 minutes later.

…

There were at least two other versions on how the shootout started earlier in the day:

One is that Chen drew his pistol to resist the attempts of the landlord who sought the help of police to get him to vacate the apartment.

The other, according to neighbor Zhang Chunyan, was that the landlord found a gun in the apartment rented by the man and called the police, which led to the confrontation.
