Tuesday’s shooting at Quarry Bay Park in Taikoo Shing on Hong Kong Island has claimed a second life, as a 62-year-old man who suffered gunshot wounds was pronounced dead in hospital on Wednesday.
The man had been in a critical condition after he and three of his brothers and sisters were shot. Police believe the incident was part of a family dispute over the inheritance of an HK$8 million (US$1.02 million) apartment, Apple Daily reported.
An 80-year-old woman who suffered a gunshot wound to the head died a few hours after the attack on Tuesday.
Another brother remains in a critical condition, while doctors noted the condition of the remaining female victim as ‘stable’.
Police are holding a 44-year-old woman, Ada Chim Sum-kit, over the shootings. She is believed to be the niece of the four victims.
Secretary for Security John Lee said on Wednesday that Hong Kong has strict gun controls, and Immigration and Customs officers are working hard to prevent the smuggling of weapons into the city, Radio Television Hong Kong reported.
Lee added that he is deeply concerned about this particular case, and has directed the police to look into how the gun used in the attack ended up in the perpetrator’s hands.
It is understood that Chim visited the Philippines earlier this year and underwent security training, Sing Tao Daily reported, adding that receipts for parcels from the Philippines were found in her apartment in Tseung Kwan O, the New Territories.
Police sources were quoted as saying that they did not rule out the possibility that the suspect bought the gun during her time in the Philippines and disassembled it before mailing the parts to Hong Kong.

Beware inheritance situations….turns family members into ravenous, carrion-eating, vicious vultures. Run. Run fast. Don’t ever look back.

Sarah PanchoArayan SumayloRollorata yes your right if he buy a gun through illegal purchase it can be so easy to get it..but if you gonna get legal you have to provide some supporting documents like i think police clearance etc….we bought 45 caliber because my husband is an army personel..its not easy to get a gun
After I read this news it shows that you had a big issues about the Filipinos and Philippines, not only once or twice, but every time you had a news writings I always notice about this, if the Filipinos done something bad you always put the nationalities but if filipinos do something good you did not mention that it is a FILIPINO, INSTEAD you will write that the nationalities is not stated… Tsk tsk… Biased!!
We are all responsible with our actions.When hou have a sound mind.. no one can ask or tell you what to do.. When that woman went o Philippines.. and killed someone here in Hk.. Thats not the problem of Philippines…
Where ever you go.. what ever country your in .when hou have money you can buy what you want… Let’s not be hypocrite here.

Mostly naman mga chikwa ay nababaliw about money and propeties eh pag wala na nga silang pera tumatalon sa building or kayay nawawala sa sarili infact may kilala nga ako employer ng kaibigan ko nabaliw about money buti nga naka recover after 3mos.nung nabinta niya ung bahay niya ng 14million bigla siyang tumino kasi malaki na pera niya kaya tama ang idea ng mga polis na they were not consider the thing on how to purchase the gun, but on what purpose why the woman buy that gun kasi every one has a rigth to buy a gun if u have money and of course deneclare niya yan kaya nakalusot may legal papers kaya napadala niya dito sa HK, so Asia Time don’t so biased be fair naman on delivering ur news pinagmumukha niyong tanga ang sarili niyo para lang maenews kayo biased naman.
