<Anchor> A man
who broke into the factory at dawn and wielded a weapon at the police was shot and caught by the police.
Recently, criticism of the police's helpless on-site response has been pouring in, and the Commissioner of the National Police Agency has emphasized the use of active force.
<Reporter> It
is in front of a factory in Gimhae, Gyeongnam.
A man with a weapon enters the factory despite the police's disapproval.
He fires a taser, but his thick coat deflects the iron core, and an angry man swings a knife at the policeman.
The man broke a building window and entered the office, wielding a weapon.
Threats continued despite the firing of blanks, and the police eventually fired live bullets.
The situation was finished only when three live bullets were pierced in the right thigh.
The man was arrested and immediately underwent surgery, it is said that his life is not life-threatening.
Person A in his 50s, who was hit by live bullets, said that he did this because he did not receive the money lent to the factory officials.
This use of firearms was the first case after the Commissioner of the National Police Agency asked front-line police to take an active on-site response after Incheon's poor response to inter-floor noise, weapons and riots.
This means that we will take strong physical responses to the violence of the weapon.
[Kang Tae-kyung / Chief Criminal Division of Gimhae West Police Station: We will respond strictly according to due process for violent crimes using weapons.] The
police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for Mr. A on charges of obstruction of the execution of special duties.
