According to the police and fire authorities on the 21st, at around 5:46 pm on this day, a report was received from an apartment in Wonju City saying, ‘If their demands are not met, they will take extreme action.’ The apartment complex is a large apartment complex with over 1,000 households.
The police dispatched after receiving the report held a meeting at the designated area of the Wonju Police Station and held a strategy meeting with related organizations such as the Gangwon Police Agency Police Special Forces and the fire department.
Initially, the police considered an operation to force open the door of Mr. A’s home and arrest him, but in the process of preparing for the operation, they confirmed that Mr. A had left his home for a while and arrested him immediately.
As a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that Mr. A actually possessed a firearm, and it was not confirmed whether he was using it for murder. It is known that Mr. A sent a text message to her spouse the day before and threatened her.
The police are conducting an investigation into Mr. A’s motive for the crime and whether the pistol he possessed had ammunition, and are considering whether to apply charges of threatening and violating the Act on Safety Management of Guns, Swords, Explosives, etc. (Guns and Explosives Act).
