SEOUL (Reuters) - A Chinese fisherman was killed on Friday in a South Korean coastguard operation to apprehend his vessel which was operating illegally off South Korea's west coast, the South Korean coastguard said.
Coastguard officers fired eight bullets when they raided the boat in the Yellow Sea. While the coastguard said no bullet wound or bleeding was immediately found on the crew member, a hospital official said the crew member appeared to have been killed by a bullet to his right lung.
