After a suspected gang-related shooting incident at a private venue in Xindian, New Taipei City in Taiwan, a 26-year-old gunman turned himself in, firing 17 shots. Despite claiming it was in retaliation for a previous altercation, the gunman faces severe penalties due to recent legislation targeting public shootings, aimed at preventing reduced sentences for self-surrendering criminals. Police suspect possible gang involvement and various motives behind the shooting incident, including seeking revenge on informants or settling debts. The gunman's hopes for leniency through surrender may be dashed as the legislation mandates a minimum 7-year sentence for public shootings, regardless of surrender.
