"Shun Pao," local Chinese language daily, was shot and wounded in the hip shortly before 11 a.m. yesterday, when a lone gunman, who was subsequently arrested, called at Mr. Ju's home at M. 16, Lane 18 Myburgh Road, asked to see the newspaperman, who is also a lawyer, and opened fire, Mr. Ju seized a stool standing in his vicinity and threw it at the gunman in an attempt to prevent him from firing more shots This precaution was unnecessary, however, as fortunately for Mr. Ju, the gunman's weapon jammed, Meanwhile a C. P. C. who was on duty on Myburgh Road, heard an alarm being raised and with pistol drawn he entered the alleyway and arrested the youthful assailant. Detectives arrived soon afterwards and searched for the weapon for quite some time, prior to returning to their station with the gunman who was dressed in a light-grey gown and a straw-hat and who denied having shot Mr. Ju.
An emergency ambulance was also summoned and conveyed the newspapermen to a private hospital on Avenue Haig, where his wound, which is not believed to be serious, is at present being treated.
