Details
The attacker beat a colleague to death at the Guangyu fine chemical company in the Baoshan District of the city. He retrieved a hunting rifle that had been hidden in his dormitory, and then asked a taxi cab driver to take him to Pudong District. When the cab stopped in Pudong, the attacker shot the driver to death and drove the vehicle back to Baoshan. In Baoshan, he shot and killed a soldier who was guarding the entrance to a barracks and stole his gun. The suspect then returned to the factory and shot dead three more people, including a manager who may have also been one of the factory's owners.[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/23/six-die-china-shooting-spree China shooting spree ends with six dead], The Guardian (June 23, 2013)[http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/06/22/police-in-china-says-man-fatally-shoots-colleagues-and-soldier-in-rare-case-gun/ Police in China says man fatally shoots colleagues and soldier in rare case of gun violence], Associated Press via Fox News (June 22, 2013)[http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1267126/shanghai-man-kills-colleagues-taxi-driver-military-guard-rare-spree-saw-6 Shanghai sees 6 dead in rare shooting spree, reports say], South China Morning Post (June 23, 2013)[https://web.archive.org/web/20141030203738/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/china/2013-06/23/c_132479268.htm Man detained after allegedly killing 6 in Shanghai], Xinhua (June 23, 2013)
