Cardiologist: police was bereft of conscience and extremely inhumane for not attending to the gunshot-wounded student immediately
In Tsuen Wan, an 18 year-old male was shot in the left chest by a live round fired by a police officer. His condition was critical. Online videos showed that after the injured was shot and fell to the ground, the police prevented a protester from helping him. 3 minutes passed when police officers went to check on the student. Dr. Alfred Wong Yam Hong, cardiologist at Tuen Mun Hospital and member of the Médecins Inspirés professional group, criticized the action of police as utterly unreasonable. One main concern was why the police did not immediately attend to the injured. He says that a bullet in the chest could easily be lethal, and the fact the police chose to intentionally disregard the injured showed that they were extremely cruel and inhumane.
Dr. Wong noted that the left chest held a lot of major organs including the heart, the lungs, the subclavian artery, the aorta thoracalis, etc. The incident could have been fatal if any of those organs were shot and medical attention was not given within a few minutes. In fact, the patient had been very lucky to live through the most critical stage. If the patient developed tension pneumothorax, or if excess air in the thoracic cavity had led to asphyxia or a lung collapse, the situation could become life-threatening within a few minutes.
The patient could have died immediately. Dr. Wong stresses that it was extremely inhumane to leave a person suffering from gunshot injury unattended.

心臟醫生指警員無即看中槍學生傷勢泯滅人性及極不人道
一名18歲男生昨日在荃灣被警員以實彈射中左胸，一度情況危殆。網上片段顯示，傷者中槍倒地後，警員制服一名試圖上前協助的示威者，過了3分鐘才有警員上前查看。杏林覺醒成員、屯門醫院心臟專科醫生黃任匡批評警方的做法絕對不合理，不明白為何警員沒有即時上前向傷者施救。他說子彈打中胸膛很容易致命，警方第一時間是將傷者置諸不理，做法泯滅人性、極不人道。 黃任匡指出，左胸腔涉及很多人體主要器官和結構，包括心、肺、鎖骨下動脈、主動脈等，任何一個上述器官被對方打中，幾分鐘延誤救治，也足以致命，形容今次中槍男生渡過危險期，是非常好彩。…

Evidence of Police Framing Protesters: Replacing the plastic rod of the Unconscious Gun-shot Student with a Metal Stick
The above video clearly shows that 'Kin Jai' (the gun shot school-boy) collapsed on the ground after being shot and arrested. The white plastic rod he once had in his hand was NOT collected by the police.
Instead, police took a 4-foot metal stick with sharp end from afar, along with the kickboard the boy previously used as a shield. This is not the first time that the police were filmed to have suspectedly planted evidence on protesters.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

You Can’t Kill Us All
The Citizens’ Press Conference held our 17th press conference today on 2nd October in conjunction with the Hong Kong ANTI-FOO Student Alliance, the Solidary Alliance, the Cross-sector Resistance, and the Hong Kong Higher Institutions International Affairs Delegation, multiple citizen-led organisations, and last but not least, the Tsuen Wan Public Ho Chuen Yiu Memorial College Anti-ELAB Association, to respond to the the live gunshot by the police in yesterday’s Anti-Extradition protest, whose victim, a F5 (Year 11) student named Tsang Tzs-kin at the aforementioned secondary school, is still in critical condition with the live round having entered his left chest and rested adjacent to the heart.
Our speaker from the Citizens’ Press Conference referred to the Hong Kong-Chinese Communist regime as despicable in its ‘clear attempt to murder, given that the police officer fired within just half a metre, aiming point blank at the secondary school student’s chest’, on the very day of 1st October. He pointed out the irony that, in the meantime, ‘the Chinese Communist Party proudly paraded their tanks and assault rifles on the very soil they bloodily butchered up to thousands of young students in the Tiananmen Square Massacre just three decades ago’, as a demonstration of its parallelism with the killing in Hong Kong as the CCP’s sole means to rule. He made reference to the establishment of the Hong Kong Provisional Parliament as well as the release of the Draft Civil Charter of Hong Kong two days ago as the people’s ‘final warning shot to the Hong Kong Government: if you will not hear our voices now, we will ensure that the new Government that shall soon replace you will avenge for every single atrocity you have committed against us’. With the police violating the governance of the ‘black letter regulations’ of firearm use, He elucidated how this denotes the violation of ‘every last one of our bottom lines’ by the current Government. His calls to action thus included ‘not just organising large-scale strikes across the city, but also to ultimately replace this wicked Government with a Government we can finally call our own’, as it is now clear that ‘the people of Hong Kong are sick and tired of having mere words of condemnation as their only shield against lethal bullets and rifles’ when they mean nothing to the current Government.
Mr Chan, a student at the same secondary school that Tsang Tsz-kin attends and a friend of Tsang’s, said that Tsang was only trying to protect himself and his friends at the time from the potential firearm use by the police officer. And yet, without any prior verbal warning or the deployment of non-lethal technology, the policeman attempted to murder Tsang. Chan posed the question: ‘in what twisted, crazy universe is firing live rounds from a distance of about 40 centimetres, aiming straight at the chest of a young schoolboy, just “one level above” the modest steel pipes that you can find in your bathroom?’Chan praised Tsang’s bravery in all the Anti-Extradition protests and expressed that Tsang ‘never hesitated in standing up for the future of Hong Kong’ despite his ‘tender age’. Chan ‘vividly remember him [Tsang] telling us that “he would rather die than be arrested”; what an awful twist of fate then that it was he, of all people, whom the Hong Kong police chose to shoot’. He lamented that Tsang is now ‘is fighting for his life in some lonely room, in some lonely hospital’, and reiterated that ‘if he had not defended himself, he would not even be in the ICU -- he would be in a mortuary’. He concluded by urging the audience to ‘never forget’, because ‘if we forget their [the police’s] crimes against us, we also forgive them’.
