Gunman Flees to Ningbo, Walks into Police Web
Police arrested 24-year-old Yu Shuangge in Ningbo on November 23, exactly a week after he staged an armed bank robbery in Shanghai killing a woman cashier.
Yu was tracked down by police at a department store in the coastal city where he sought refuge under the roof of his fiancee＇s aunt. He was still carrying two pistols and some ammunition when two police officers came upon him and handcuffed him after a seven-day breathless manhunt.
On November 13, three days before the bank robbery, he stole
three pistols and 268 bullets. Since last August he has been an apprentice conductor on city Bus No. 75.
Now armed, he made a daring attempt to rob a Dalian Road Branch Bank, next to the Shanghai Foreign Language Education Bookstore just outside the campus of the Shanghai International Studies University. He chose the bank probably because only a few clerks, including 32-year-old Zhu Yadi, a widow with a two-year-old baby boy, wounded there.
He spent nearly the whole morning at the bank, according to eyewitness＇ accounts, most likely waiting for the lunch break when there would be only one person on duty.
A few minutes past noon, a woman clerk of the neighbouring bookstore was just stepping out of the door when she heard the sound of an explosion. Turning back, she came face to face with a young man dashing out from the bank＇s side-door carrying a glistening pistol.
Police arrived within minutes of the alarm, and the victim, who was lying on the ground in a pool of blood, was rushed to a nearby hospital where she died from a bullet wound that cut deep into her head from the face.
