2 officers killed by wanted fugitive

Two police officers died in southwestern China's Sichuan province after being stabbed by a wanted killer who drove a car into their station on Monday.

Authorities had launched a manhunt for the killer - identified only as Zhang - on Sunday night after he was suspected of stabbing to death a man surnamed Xie during a dispute at a construction site near the Chengyi Highway in Renshou county.

Zhang spent the night on the run, but on Monday morning he drove a car into the front of the Fujia town police station, hitting several people. He then started stabbing officers and civilians, police said.
