Our reporter Lu Jianluan, correspondents Tan Weizhong and Chen Lixiong - Guangzhou Liwan police informed the media yesterday that the police had solved the case of a child being "injured by a lead bullet". On May 16th, the Liwan police received a report from the public, Mr. He, who claimed that his 10-year-old son was hit by a round bullet-like projectile while playing near the door of No. 22 Yu Gui Third Lane, Wen Chang South Road on the afternoon of the 15th, which grazed his skin and caused bleeding. At noon on the 20th, the police arrested the troublemaker Xia (male, 42 years old, from Guangzhou) in room 901 of a residential building on Bao Hua North Road, and found 3 air rifles, 5仿真 handguns, 1 sports air rifle, steel ball bullets, BB bullets, a batch of round bullets, and 11 pressurized gas cylinders in the room.

Xia initially admitted that these guns were purchased through illegal channels, and he had a hobby of playing with guns. He also admitted to the fact that he injured a child while playing with a gun on the afternoon of the 15th. Currently, the police are conducting further investigations into the case.

The police remind citizens: do not purchase, store, or transport various types of firearms through illegal channels. People who already illegally possess firearms should promptly surrender them to the public security authorities to seek lenient treatment. The public security authorities call on the public to actively report clues related to gun-related crimes, and those who assist in solving cases will be rewarded by the public security authorities.

We welcome comments and reviews.
