Injured SWAT officer's story touches many

Zhang Jie, a police officer from Bengbu, Anhui province, said he doesn't regret doing his duty despite being gravely wounded in an explosion set off by a suicidal man nearly two years ago.

On Jan 5 last year, a resident of a six-story apartment building threatened to blow up 10 bottles of liquefied petroleum gas and two gasoline cans in a sealed room to take revenge on society.

When lengthy negotiations failed, the Special Weapons and Tactics team was called to the scene. Zhang, 37, was eating dinner after work, but he jumped up without hesitation, officers said.
