Four people were killed and one was injured in a South Korean air-rifle shooting rampage in Hwaseong, Gyeonggy Province, Yonhap News Agency reported Friday.

韩国联合通讯社周五报道， 京畿道华城市发生气枪乱枪扫射事件，四人死亡一人受伤。

Police received an official report at about 9:30 a.m.local time that "my uncle shot at my parents" with an air rifle in a single- family house in Hwaseong, southwest of capital Seoul.

When police officers arrived, a married couple in their mid-80s was found lie down on the floor along with the uncle aged 75 and head of a police station surnamed Lee.

Lee was estimated to be shot dead while trying to suppress the shooter.

The daughter-in-law, who reported the case to police by phone, suffered a light injury as she jumped from the second-story house to escape from the scene.

The uncle is estimated to have killed himself after going on a shooting rampage.

Given testimonies that the two siblings have been on bad terms, the accident is estimated to have been caused by a discord between brothers. Details of the accident are under investigation.
