A Chinese policeman was arrested after he allegedly shot a woman dead and injured another in China’s southern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Head of Pingnan County’s public security bureau, where the policeman worked, as well as five other lower-ranking police officers, were suspended from their duties for investigation yesterday, according to officials.

The policeman surnamed Hu, who was reportedly drunk, went to a rice noodle shop to buy food and shot and injured the female shop owner surnamed Wu and her husband after a brawl.

Wu died later after emergency treatment failed while her husband’s condition was stated to be stable, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
