Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened marginally higher this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,112 on turnover of 5.2-billion N-T. The market moved moderately higher on Tuesday, but turnover remained thin as many investors opted to stay on the sidelines as they await the outcome of the U-S presidential election. Two Hometown Association Heads Indicted for China-Funded Trip The Taipei District Prosecutors' Office has indicted the heads of two Chinese hometown associations for organizing a China-funded trip to Anhui Province for local K-M-T officials in the run-up to January's elections. According to the prosecutors' office, the presidents of the Taiwan and Taipei Anhui Province hometown associations have been charged with violating (違反) the Anti-Infiltration Act. Prosecutors says the two defendants acted at the request of the head the Anhui Province Taiwan Affairs Office to recruit 24 K-M-T party officials and ward chiefs from Taipei's Wanhua and Nangang districts for the trip. Former Police Officer Acquitted in Fatal Shooting Incident The Taoyuan District Court has acquitted a former police officer who accidentally shot and killed a passenger in a vehicle that failed to pull over after being ordered to do so in March of 2020. The vehicle instead sped off, sparking a chase in which the driver reversed into the police officer's patrol car twice. The former police officer, who was the deputy head of the Taoyuan Police Department's Bade Precinct when the incident occurred, discharged his hand gun five times - aiming at the moving vehicle's back tire - but two bullets hit a female passenger (乘客) in the car's back seat. She was struck in the leg and back and later died in a nearby hospital. The former police officer had been charged with negligent homicide.
