Police said yesterday that they believed a man named Chen Yi-hsiung (???) shot President Chen Shui-bian (???) and Vice President Annette Lu (???) on March 19, but that he committed suicide shortly after his failed assassination attempt.
Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) Commissioner Hou You-yi (???) said that although he was not announcing that the investigation was closed, they were confident that Chen Yi-hsiung was the man who shot the president and vice president during a press conference called by the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
"While Chen
was dead on March 29 and we were still looking for the pistol and bullets he used in the assassination attempt, his family had a letter he left before his death in which he admitted he committed the assassination attempt," Hou said.
