Two injured as motorcyclists open fire

JOHOR BARU: A group of motorcyclists fired shots at three men who were walking near their flat at Pasir Gudang, near here, hitting two of them.

“It all happened so fast. I heard loud bangs and then saw my bro-ther and his friend lying on the road,” said S. Visvam, 27, who was unscathed.

His brother S. Alayarajam, 25, was hit in the left leg while a shot grazed the forehead of their friend T. Tamil Arasu, 19.

They were given outpatient treatment at the Sultan Ismail Hospital.

Lean on me: Alayarajam’s family members assisting him after he was shot near his home at Taman Kota Masai in Pasir Gudang, Johor, yesterday.
 
Visvam said they were taking a walk at Taman Kota Masai when the incident occurred at about 12.30pm yesterday.

Four men on motorcycles, said to be armed with parang, rushed at them and fired several shots.
Visvam claimed that one of the attackers was a former neighbour in Masai, adding that a group of four parang-wielding men had attacked him last year.

“I was lucky to survive then,” he told newsmen at the scene yesterday. He believed that they were the same people involved in the shooting incident.

Seri Alam OCPD Supt Roslan Zainuddin said police were investigating the case.
