　　"They fought from inside the shop to the outside. His mouth was bleeding," another one said.

　　The case has been classified as manslaughter by the Hong Kong police.

　　No further detail has been released yet.

　　Hong Kong Travel Industry Council executive director Joseph Tung has condemned³ the violence, saying it will damage Hong Kong's reputation as a shopping paradise.

　　"We feel very sorry for the unfortunate incident. We have handed the case to the tourism bureau in Shenzhen and the China National Tourism Administration. We hope the mainland can help us investigate the case. I reiterate⁴ that mainland visitors, under whatever circumstances, should not resort to fighting. Hong Kong is under rule of law, violence is against the law," said Tung.

　　The tour group, including members from Fujian, Hubei, Shandong and Heilongjiang provinces, arrived from Shenzhen on Sunday for a three-day trip to Hong Kong and Macau.

　　The incident happened amid a slowing number of tourists as well as relatively⁵ sluggish⁶ retail⁷ sales in Hong Kong.
