TWO CHINESE NATIONALS SHOT DURING A CONFRONTATION

Chelston Police Station is investigating a report of grievous harm, threatening violence, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm involving two Chinese nationals.

Zambia police public relations officer Rae Hamoonga says the Station received a report from a Chinese national, Mr. Chen Can aged 44, of Olympia, Lusaka.

He says Mr. Chen reported that he was assaulted and threatened with a pistol by a fellow Chinese national, whose identity he can provide upon sight.

Hamoonga says the incident occurred following a dispute that began at Sun City and continued to Zambezi Mall.

He says It is alleged that during the confrontation, the suspect struck Mr. Chen multiple times on the head with the pistol and discharged two shots into the ground.

The fragments from the shots caused bruises to Mr. Chen’s legs and a severe headache.

Furthermore, another Chinese national, Mr. Yang Hou Cal aged 41, reported that he sustained a gunshot wound during the incident.

The bullet entered through the lower gluteal region (buttock) and exited through the lower left abdomen.

Mr. Yang is currently receiving medical treatment at Medland Hospital, while Mr. Chen has been advised to undergo a CT scan.

The incident is reported to have occurred on, December 12, 2024, at around 01:00 hours at Zambezi Mall. The altercation escalated as two factions of Chinese nationals aligned themselves with either the complainant or the suspect, leading to the violent events.

Police officers visited and processed the scene, recovering the following items:
• 01 projectile,
• 02 bullets,
• 01 cartridge casing, and
• 04 empty cartridges.

The suspect is currently at large, and investigations have been intensified to locate and apprehend the perpetrator.

We urge members of the public to provide any information that may assist in the investigations by contacting the nearest police station.
We take this opportunity to caution all individuals against taking disputes to violent extremes.

The Zambia Police Service remains committed to ensuring law and order prevails in all communities.
