fired 29 shots in succession

The gunman who fired 29 shots in the shooting was the veteran of the Taipei gang "Wanguo Gang" and the 57-year-old Qiu Guolong . According to Taiwan's China Times on the 20th, at 7:30 pm on the 19th, Qiu Guolong rushed to the 7th floor of a building in Hankou Street, Taipei with a gun. He and many others in power in the gang were fired more than ten shots, causing another gang member named Hong to be seriously injured. He is still in emergency treatment, and the two younger brothers are also on lottery. Afterwards, Qiu Guolong ran to Qingshan Palace in 0,000 , and fired three shots at Xu Wenxu, who was the deputy chairman, and shot and intimidated the police on the side of the road. Then he rushed into the beverage shop opposite, holding Xu's wife, sister, cousin and son a total of four people. He pulled down the iron door and confronted the police. During the process, he fired another 10 shots, causing the policeman named Wang to be shot in the right thigh. During this period, Qiu Guolong posted on Facebook in the store, saying goodbye to his children, and released the four hostages at around 8:50 pm, and fired two shots into his right temple. The police then entered the scene to investigate. At around 10 p.m., the hospital declared Qiu dead.

Taiwan media said that Qiu Guolong posted a post on Facebook before committing the crime, revealing his thoughts of self-destruction after revenge. He wrote: "For more than a year, I have been bullied! There must be a reason for things, and I must do it with dignity! Bullying the small with the big, and being born with everything to nourish people. People and things can turn the world back. It is necessary to force me to choose this path. I will be responsible myself, so I will leave." The police's preliminary analysis was caused by internal gang fights.

suicide or because of "gangster culture"

A gang member revealed that Qiu Guolong's friend was bullied by "Datou Bin" of the "Hegou Tou Gang". In order to seek justice, Qiu took a gun to find the other party. Although the two sides coordinated through local people afterwards, Qiu still held a grudge and believed that "the Wanguo Gang suppressed him on the grounds of the reason why he was involved in the case outside and was targeted by the police." Further suspected that Hong Qing was designing him behind the scenes. In addition, at the beginning of this year, Qiu Guolong went to the "Ximendong Tourism Development Association" in a commercial building on Hankou Street, Wanhua District, and had an argument with "Axi", a member of the same gang. Qiu took out a knife and stabbed Asxi, but was stopped by Hong Wenbin, who was nicknamed "Songshanbin". Afterwards, Qiu found Xu Wenxu, the deputy chairman of Qingshan Palace, who was of high seniority, to coordinate, but Xu refused on the grounds that he had retired and no longer interfered in the affairs of Jianghu, which aroused Qiu's dissatisfaction. Analysts believe that these things may prompt Qiu Guolong to create a shooting incident.

Forensic Gao Dacheng said that Qiu Guolong's choice to commit suicide was related to "gangster culture". He killed the boss and was afraid of being arrested and retaliated after he came out. As for why he committed suicide twice, he speculated that Qiu Guolong might have used a semi-automatic continuous shot, and fired it in a row when he was nervous. As for whether his motive for the crime was vendetta, Gao Dacheng believed that it was necessary to investigate again, and vendetta, love killing and financial disputes were possible.

"Shooting everywhere" caused concern

According to the United Daily News, after the shooting, some people called the police and said: "After seeing the news of the shooting of Ximending , they felt that the public security was poor and asked to strengthen patrols around Ximending to maintain housing prices." According to the Zhongshi Electronic News report, when the shooting occurred, Taipei Mayor Ke Wen-je was accepting a live interview. He suddenly received a note halfway, so he hurriedly left the live broadcast site and rushed to Wanhua Branch to sit in the charge, and then arrived at the National Taiwan University Hospital to comfort the police. He stressed on Facebook late at night that the Taipei Municipal Government will never indulge gangs in fighting fiercely or endanger public order. On the 20th, Taiwan's Executive Yuan spokesman Luo Bingcheng said that the "Police Affairs Office" will work closely with local police units, especially before the election, and the relevant security maintenance must be strengthened.

19 is the first day after the newly revised "Regulations on the Use of Police Equipment" was implemented after Tsai Ing-wen's announcement, serious gangster shootings broke out in Taipei City. "Police Director" Huang Mingzhao said that there are less than 40 days left before the "nine-in-one" election of . The police will definitely trace the root cause and investigate the behind-the-scenes reasons for the shootings caused by gangs.This is also the fourth major shooting case on the island since Huang Mingzhao took office.

In addition, there were shooting cases in the otolaryngology department of a hospital in Kaohsiung and a Tainan police slashed their throats and snatched their guns.

After the Democratic Progressive Party came to power, public security on the island can be said to be increasingly deteriorating.

Wang Hongwei said that in the past few months, the gunfire of Taiwan was thunderous.
