The courts in Shandong have now handed down the death penalty to the man convicted of killing four police officers earlier this year.
51-year old Liu Jianjun shot and killed four police officers in early January in a rampage which shocked the nation, and ignited debate about access to weapons in the country.
Liu and his younger brother were being hunted by the authorities for the killing of another man in the city of Jinan, and killed the police officers with a home-made handgun and a shotgun after being cornered.
His brother killed himself before he could be arrested.
