Xinmin Evening News quoted an unidentified woman witness saying that she saw two groups of people talk outside Lohas Cafe on Wuning Road around 12:30 pm. A fight broke out later and one man took out a gun and shot at the other group.

A witness told China Daily that a man shouted "give back the money".

One of the injured, who has no identification document, was still in critical condition, after doctors found a fragment of shell in his brain. The other, injured on the neck, left the scene, witnesses said.

The Xinmin Evening News also said five men including the shooter took a white car with a Jiangsu plate and fled the scene.
