The consulate said it 'strongly condemns' the 'violent attack' which it said caused a serious threat to the safety of the people and staff at the scene, but it 'reserves the right to pursue responsibility for the incident'.
Police in San Francisco have fatally shot the driver of a vehicle that crashed through the Chinese consulate in the city. The car entered the lobby of the building's visa office at about 3pm local time on Monday, which the Chinese diplomatic post in San Francisco said posed a 'serious threat to the safety of the staff and people at the scene'. Images of the scene showed officers surrounding a blue Honda, with people being evacuated from the building.
The suspect later died in hospital, Sgt Winters added. She said she did not know how many people were inside the visa office at the time of the incident. The consulate said it 'strongly condemns this violent attack and reserves the right to pursue responsibility for the incident'.
