Chinese in Angola donate blood for compatriot shot by local guard

Xinhua, July 26, 2016 Adjust font size:

Dozens of Chinese expatriates working in Luanda on Monday queued up to donate blood for a compatriot shot and seriously injured by a local guard on Sunday night.

The injured Chinese, whose company was only willing to give his family name Dang, was shot in his stomach at about 23:00 local time Sunday night after a dispute over trifles with the local guard who was apparently drunk at the time.

The Angolan guard, a soldier from the Angolan army, was brought under control by fellow soldiers and police who rushed to the scene half an hour later after the shooting incident.

Dang was rushed to a nearby Chinese hospital for emergency treatment before he was moved to the Clinica Multiferl (Multi-purpose Hospital), one of the best hospitals in Luanda for intensive care.

Dang was still in a critical condition on Monday.

Angolan police are further probing into the incident. Endit
