A man stabbed the owner of an indoor shooting range and fled with a handgun and tens of bullets in the southern port city of Busan, police sources said Saturday.

Police said the man, presumed to be in his 20s or 30s, stabbed the female owner at the range at 9:40 a.m. and ran away with a .45-caliber handgun and around 30 to 40 bullets.

The suspect was wearing a black jacket at the scene, and is around 178 centimeters tall with short hair, investigators said.

The owner was taken to a nearby hospital and is in critical condition, police added. (Yonhap)
