The Folice spent several hours skirmishing round the Lok in Chau Station, and endeavoured to draw fire from the madman, so as to obtain a guide as to his position..
It is estimated that the last shot from the Police Station came at about 7p.m. and that is believed to be the time when the maniae committed suicide.
The police, however, took no risks nad actually waited a long time before charging the front door: Bullet proof waistcoats and steel helmete were donned by those who earried out the charge.
