The shooter’s wife, Ling Ling Wang, 36, then got up from the table where she had been sitting with Li and pushed her husband away.
Yixin subsequently repeatedly fired at Wang, the mother of his 9 and 12-year-old daughters before she fell to the floor.
Yixin then reloaded the weapon and fired several shots at Li and later shot Wang before escaping.
