A knife-wielding murder suspect rammed a car into a police station in southwest China on Monday and was shot dead by the chief and another officer, who died later of their injuries, AFP reports. The man had been on the run after he was identified as a suspect in the stabbing death of another person hours earlier near the Chengdu-Yibin high-speed train construction site in Sichuan province, police said. As police prepared to arrest the suspect surnamed Zhang, he ploughed a vehicle into the police station in the town of Fujia and chased people with a knife, according to Renshou county police. The police chief and the officer were seriously injured and were later pronounced dead by the hospital. Four other people were injured to various degrees but are out of danger.
