A suspected thief was shot dead by police at his home in southwestern China on Wednesday after he repeatedly threatened to detonate explosives during a 16-hour standoff.
The 36-year-old man resisted arrest when officers arrived at his rented apartment in the city of Guang'an, Sichuan province on Tuesday morning, local police said in a statement issued Wednesday. Holding what appeared to be a remote control, the suspect brought out four devices he claimed were explosives and threatened to set them off. Explosives experts later ruled the devices appeared to be homemade remote-controlled bombs, police said.More Related News
