In March 2006, a shootout in a Tsim Sha Tsui underpass in Hong Kong resulted in the deaths of two police officers and an off-duty constable. The off-duty officer, Tsui Po-ko, initiated the shooting using a service revolver stolen from Constable Leung Shing-yan, who was murdered in 2001. Constable Tsang Kwok-hang was killed in the exchange, while his partner, Sin Ka-keung, was seriously injured. Evidence suggested Tsui fired the first shots. The stolen gun was recovered at the scene of the deadly confrontation.
