Xinjiang is slowly returning to normal more than a week after deadly riot in the far western Chinese region, despite police shootings and sporadic tension in the capital city of Urumqi on Monday.
According to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region government, police shot dead two people and injured another in an attempt to stop them from attacking one person.
The three people were attacking the fourth person with clubs and knives at 2:55 p.m. near the People's Hospital at Jiefang Nanlu. All four people involved were of the Uygur ethnic group.
