Taiwan Metro Attacks Leave 3 Killed, Several Injured

At least three people were killed and five injured in the Taiwanese capital, Taipei, in attacks at two metro stations on Friday. The perpetrator, a man said to be in his twenties, was initially thought to have jumped to his death from a nearby building after the attack. That fact was later confirmed by police, who said he had been certified dead after he was sent to the hospital, according to Taiwan's Central News Agency, bringing the total number of dead to four. It is unclear how the attacker got to a rooftop of a building, from which he jumped to evade arrest.

Police say several individuals were not only injured in the knife attack, but also by the smoke grenades. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an said one of the victims was killed while trying to stop the attack. Taiwanese Premier Cho Jung-ta called the attacks "a deliberate act," adding that police had increased security at Taiwan's train and subway stations. Authorities said the suspected attacker had a *criminal record and outstanding warrants. On Saturday, authorities said the 27-year-old suspect had planned the attack, adding that investigations revealed he acted alone.

“The suspect planned an indiscriminate attack. He acted according to his plan,” said Chang Jung-Hsin, director-general of the National Police Agency.

Cho said investigators had searched the man's ​home, adding, "We will investigate his background and associated relationships to understand his motives and determine if there are other connected factors." Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te said the government would strengthen security and swiftly investigate the case to ensure public safety.
