BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — The man who shot and killed two people and injured a third in Bowling Green in 2023 was sentenced last week to life in prison with eligibility for parole after 46 years.

Xiaosong Wang, who was 62 years old at the time of the shooting, pleaded guilty in August to two counts of aggravated murder, two counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder, three counts of felonious assault and two counts of possession of criminal tools.

Wang was arrested in September 2023 for shooting and killing Bing Luan Lin, 40, and Zhichun Huang, 36, in the 500 block of Monroe Court. He also shot and wounded 44-year-old Renshuang Qiu.

According to the Wood County Prosecutor's Office, Lin and Huang were two owners of the Bowling Green restaurant Ninja Hibachi Sushi Steak House. Qui and Wang were employees of the restaurant.

Authorities said the incident arose from a dispute at the residence where several employees of the restaurant lived. The restaurant owners informed Wang he was being fired after an altercation with another and attempted to give him his final check and evict him. Wang then shot the three victims with a .45 caliber handgun.
