Arresting a group of Chinese people who robbed guns and shot border gate officers

Arrested for illegally crossing the border, a group of Chinese nationals suddenly grabbed guns and attacked officers at the Bac Phong Sinh Border Gate Control Station in Quang Ninh.

Quang Ninh electronic information portal reported in detail: At 4:20 a.m. on April 18, 2014, a group of 16 Chinese people, including 10 men, 4 women and 2 children, illegally entered Vietnam through the Bac Phong Sinh border gate (Hai Ha district, Quang Ninh province). On their way deep into the interior, they were discovered, arrested and escorted to the border gate by Vietnamese authorities to carry out procedures to hand them over to China according to international regulations and practices.

Vietnam Border Guard handed over the group of subjects to the Chinese side.

At around 12 o'clock on the same day, while completing the procedures, suddenly a few men from the above group took advantage of the negligence of the authorities to snatch guns and break the legs of the desk, opened fire, attacked and controlled the Vietnamese border guards, causing one Vietnamese border guard to die on the spot, forcing the Vietnamese border guards to take legitimate self-defense measures.

Although Vietnamese and Chinese authorities called on and persuaded the subjects to hand over their weapons and surrender, the subjects remained resolute in their defense, vandalizing the border guard headquarters, forcing the authorities to use professional measures to approach, control and arrest them. The subjects fought back against the border guard, and at the same time inflicted injuries on themselves, some jumped off buildings and committed suicide.

The incident left 7 people dead (including 2 Vietnamese border guards) and several injured (including 4 Vietnamese border guards).

Vietnamese police and border guards stabilized the situation, arrested the subjects and handed them over to the Chinese side.

Immediately after receiving the information, the Standing Committee of the Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee promptly reported to the Central leaders at all levels to ask for instructions and held an emergency meeting, affirming that this was not a terrorist incident and quickly directed the relevant agencies to urgently resolve related issues to ensure security and order, the lives of soldiers, civil servants and people in the border gate area; provide first aid to the injured; ensure state assets and quickly restore order at the Bac Phong Sinh border gate, and at the same time discuss with the relevant agencies on the Chinese side to coordinate in resolving the following matters.

Quang Ninh province has established a special task force led by comrade Nguyen Van Doc, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, to quickly go to the scene and directly direct the relevant agencies to handle the incident.

By 3:15 p.m. the same day, security and order in the area had stabilized. Currently, the authorities of Quang Ninh province are actively coordinating with the Chinese border guards to resolve the next steps in accordance with Vietnamese and Chinese laws and international practices.
