Female police officer tries to commit suicide

The police officer, Tsai Shih-wen (蔡世雯), 27, carried her gun back to her dorm room when she was on duty during the shift from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m, said United Evening News. She shot her right face while sitting on the edge of her bed, and the bullet passed through her left face, said the report.

The gunshot shocked one of her roommates, another female cop who was asleep before the incident occurred. Tsai was rushed to Mackay Memorial Hospital's Danshui branch, and was still in emergency room as of yesterday.

Tsai, 27, has served in the Danshui Police Precinct on Zhongshan Road Rd. since 2006.

Her boyfriend, surnamed Sun (孫), also a police officer, was cited in the report as saying that Tsai had told him that she felt so much pressure at work.

Tsai's supervisor, Ai Peng (艾鵬), lamented Tsia's act and said that he did not notice her behaving strangely lately, said the report.

The cause of the suicidal attempt was still unclear, added the report.
