On 26 March, a 56-year-old Chinese man named Liu Shaoyao (simplified Chinese: 刘少尧; traditional Chinese: 刘少堯; pinyin: liú shǎoyáo,[35] often misspelled Shaoyo), was shot to death by police at his home in the 19th arrondissement of Paris after police received a call about a domestic dispute. Police claim Liu immediately charged them with a pair of scissors after they opened the door to his house and shot him dead. Liu's family, who were in the home at the time of the shooting, dispute the story.[1]
