Brian,
ROTFL You should read the articles until the end :)
"Sun experienced a similar episode in Taiwan seven years ago when a man
charged onto the stage during her album signing event, firing a shot with a
toy gun. Police later said the man had intended to kidnap her for ransom."
Do we also retroactively cancel last wikimania to protect people's safety?

from the Taiwan singer issue in Egypt this May."
Is this what you're referring to?
