Gunman kills three judges in China

Three judges in a Chinese court were shot dead by a gunman who then killed himself today.

The man, carrying an automatic weapon, killed the judges after bursting into the court office in Yongzhou, central China.

The judges were discussing a case unrelated to him.

The official Xinhua news agency said he was taking revenge on the court over a ruling it had made in a property division dispute three years ago between him and his wife.
