Another shocking shooting spree took place in Korea on Friday, just three days after another fatal gun incident.

The suspect, identified as Jeon, came to his brother’s house in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province to borrow money, according to police.

Neighbors say Jeon used to extort money from his brother and would visit his house under the influence of alcohol.

The gunman, 75, shot his 86-year-old brother, his 84-year-old sister-in-law and Lee Kang-seok, 43-year-old chief of Namyang Police Station who tried to stop the shooting spree.

All three of them died. The perpetrator was also found dead and is believed to have taken his own life.

The daughter-in-law of the dead couple survived from the shooting spree by jumping from the second-story of her house.

She called the police to report the shooting at 9:34 a.m.

Jeon had a firearms hunting license. He collected two of his rifles from Namyang Police Station earlier this morning.

As of January this year, 163,664 hunting rifles have been registered for individuals.

Rifles are kept at the police stations and can be taken out during the hunting season. The hunting season, which started on November 20 last year, was to end on Friday, February 28 this year.

The police said that it will toughen regulations on firearms licenses and will ban those who have a criminal record for violence from acquiring one.

On Wednesday, a Korean man took his own life shortly after killing his former girlfriend’s brother and father as well as her boyfriend.

The suspect, identified only as Kang, was found dead 4 kilometers away from the scene of the deadly incident. He is believed to have shot himself in the head.

The incident took place at around 8:00 a.m. in Sejong, the country’s administrative capital.

Kang, 52, took two of his hunting rifles from the police station earlier in the day at 6:25 a.m.
