Faced with the level of danger, the Director of Lam Dong Provincial Police directly directed forces to capture the man who used a homemade gun to attack and injure a commune police officer.
The Investigation Police Agency of Lam Dong Province Police coordinated with the People's Procuracy of Region 12 to conduct a crime scene investigation and investigate the shooting that injured Lieutenant Colonel Dinh Quoc Hiep, a police officer of Dong Giang Commune.
Previously, late on July 12, the Working Group of Dong Giang Commune Police received a report to handle the case of K' Van Phuoc (47 years old, residing in Hamlet 5, Village 1, Dong Giang Commune) assaulting his wife and children at home.
When the police arrived at the scene, K' Van Phuoc cursed, threatened the working group with a knife and barricaded himself in the house with his two children.
After more than 2 hours of unsuccessful persuasion and lobbying, at around 1:00 a.m. on July 13, Lieutenant Colonel Dinh Quoc Hiep approached the scene to assess the situation and was shot by a subject using a homemade gun from inside the house, piercing his right waist.
Lieutenant Colonel Hiep was promptly taken to Binh Thuan General Hospital by his teammates for emergency treatment. He is now out of danger and is continuing to be monitored and treated.
Given the extremely serious nature of the incident, Major General Truong Minh Duong - Director of the Provincial Police Department directly directed the Criminal Police Department, the Office of the Investigation Police Agency, and the Mobile Police Department to urgently coordinate with the Dong Giang Commune Police to deploy professional measures to control and arrest K' Van Phuoc in an emergency.
At 5:20 a.m. the same day, the authorities successfully arrested K' Van Phuoc and proceeded to record the crime of "Resisting a person on official duty". At the same time, they seized related evidence including: 2 guns, 6 shell casings, 6 bullets and 1 black laser sight.
On the afternoon of July 13, a working delegation of Lam Dong Provincial Police led by Colonel Tran Van Muoi - Deputy Director of the Provincial Police visited and encouraged Lieutenant Colonel Dinh Quoc Hiep, who is being treated at Binh Thuan General Hospital.
