Taiwan Police Say Who Shot President, but Suspect Is Dead

By KEITH BRADSHER

HONG KONG, Monday, March 7 - The Taiwan police announced late Monday morning
that they had identified the man who shot and injured President Chen
Shui-bian on the eve of national elections a year ago.

But the police said the man had acted on his own and then drowned himself,
fully clothed, in a harbor 10 days after the shooting, leaving no one to
arrest.

Spinning the sort of story once found in dime store novels, the police said
in Taipei that a middle-aged man had carried out the shooting on March 19
because he was depressed about difficulties in selling a house and blamed the
president's management of Taiwan's struggling economy.

National sympathy for President Chen, who was grazed in the abdomen, helped
the president win re-election the following day by fewer than 30,000 votes of
13.3 million cast. The losing ticket of candidates from the Nationalist Party
and People First Party led large street protests and filed lawsuits in an
unsuccessful attempt to overturn the vote.

The police said Monday that the man had left a suicide note describing his
anger at the president, but not taking responsibility for the shooting. A
police official said the family burned the note and tried to keep the
incident secret to avoid shame, but recently described the note to the police
after investigators traced the purchase of the gun and bullets.

Nationalist Party and People First Party officials said early Monday
afternoon that they did not believe the police version, and would proceed
with a previously scheduled demonstration on the anniversary of the attack.
