On December 7, 2021, Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, answered reporters' questions.
Q: On November 22, a Taiwanese shooting suspect fled to Xiamen and is about to lift the epidemic prevention and quarantine.
A: On November 23, 2021, Taiwan media reported that a man surnamed Huang arrived in Xiamen on Flight MF888 on November 22 after killing people with a gun and was subjected to centralized quarantine for epidemic prevention. When the Xiamen Municipal Public Security Organs learned of this, they immediately launched an investigation. After interrogation, the suspect surnamed Huang confessed to the shooting and killing of a man surnamed He in New Taipei City. In order to crack down on violent crimes, ensure the safety of people's lives and property on both sides of the strait, and maintain order in cross-strait exchanges, the Xiamen Municipal Public Security Organs decided to repatriate the suspect surnamed Huang to Taiwan.

According to a previous report by the Observer Network, a "firing-type" shooting case in Xindian District, New Taipei City, Taiwan, that fired 4 shots in a row on the 22nd shocked the whole of Taiwan. After investigation, the Taiwan police determined early on the 23rd that the gunman fled the country to the mainland in 4 hours after committing the crime. According to Taiwan media sources, the gunman surnamed Huang is currently isolated at his own expense in a certain epidemic prevention hotel in Xiamen, and the Taiwan police will contact the mainland through the cross-strait section of the "criminal police station" in Taiwan and ask the mainland to assist in arresting people.
