[Reporter Chen Enhui/Taoyuan Report] An East African baboon has been wandering in Taoyuan City for 18 days. Yesterday (28) afternoon, it invaded a house on Zhongzheng Road, Yangmei District. Chest, injured and died; Yangmei Police Station in Taoyuan City investigated the responsibility overnight, and sent the entire file of evidence to the Taoyuan District Prosecutor's Office today; a hunter surnamed Lin shot and killed a baboon, sparking public grievances. He privately revealed: "I am also very dry, Before the roundup, I asked the people present if they could shoot if there was a situation? The other party replied, "That's it." Unexpectedly, after the shooting, the other party said, "I'm from Leofoo Village."

The hunter surnamed Lin said that he is a hunter who legally owns guns. Yesterday afternoon, he was temporarily notified by the Agriculture Department of the Hsinchu County Government that the East African baboons had appeared in Yangmei Fugang and asked him to stand by for assistance. He was at the junction of Taoyuan City and Hsinchu County. Seeing the searchers, he took the initiative to join the round-up operation. Due to the large number of people at the scene, there were also personnel from the Taoyuan City Bureau of Agriculture. They saw many people holding tranquilizer guns. After asking, he learned that they were veterinarians. He asked the people present: "If there is any danger Can't you shoot?" One person responded, "Then shoot", which made him rest assured to round up.

The hunter surnamed Lin said that at that time the baboons ran into the house and were trapped. He and another veterinarian with a tranquilizer gun were led by his grandmother. The three of them entered the house. Because the house was dark and there was almost no light, the other party hid in a dark corner first. The baboon fired the tranquilizer gun, but the shot failed unexpectedly, causing the baboon to go crazy and start jumping up and down the house. He was worried that the elderly woman next to him would be hurt by the angry baboon, so he shot the baboon to subdue him.

But when he finished shooting, he turned around and asked the other party intuitively: "Which unit are you from?" When he heard the other party say "Liu Fu Village", he felt that something was wrong, but it was too late.
