BEIJING: As many as four people were killed including two police personnel in China shooting in northern Hebei province on Tuesday.

The four killed in Suning county included at least one suspect, China Central Television said, giving few other details. The case was still under investigation, it said.

These type of cases are very rare in the country as firearms are tightly controlled and private gun ownership is restricted.

In December, an employee of China’s central bank shot and killed two colleagues at the branch he was working at in the northeastern province of Liaoning.
