Soldier killer still at large, armed

After pulling out hazy images from security surveillance cameras, the Chongqing police have launched a "door-to-door search" for the unidentified suspect who shot dead a teenage soldier at the army barracks here on Thursday, before fleeing with his loaded assault rifle.

"It has been confirmed that the victim, identified as 18-year-old Han Junliang, was shot twice in the chest with a pistol at about 7:40 pm on Thursday. The attacker was wearing a hoodie, which is why his face is not clearly visible in the images captured by surveillance cameras," the police source told China Daily yesterday.

Police have obtained the fingerprint of the suspect, the source said.
