One killed, 10 injured in a shootout in China

Police in central China's Hubei Province arrested seven people for their suspected roles in the shooting at Wuhan.

A statement from the public security bureau of Wuhan, capital of Hubei, said home-made shotguns were used during the shootout in an abandoned house yesterday.

The incident was caused by a gambling dispute, state-run Xinhua reported.

Criminal cases involving firearms are rare in China as private ownership of guns is prohibited.
