Three judges have been shot dead at a court in
China's southern Hunan province by a man armed with a submachine gun, reports say.
Three other judges were injured before the man, who was also carrying two more weapons, killed himself.
Officials told the BBC the attacker was a 46-year-old local man who worked as head of security at a post office.
Correspondents say shootings are relatively rare in China, as few people have access to firearms.
The shooting happened during just before 1000 (0200 GMT) at the Lingling District People's Court, said Xinhua.
The BBC's Chris Hogg in Shanghai says the man, named by officials as Zhu Jun, had reportedly borrowed his weapons from a colleague saying he needed to inspect them. - bbc
