KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 – A robbery suspect was injured when he was shot by a security guard while attempting to rob a money changer outlet at Jalan Genting Klang, Setapak here, today. Kuala Lumpur CID chief, Datuk Zainuddin Ahmad said the 24-year-old suspect, was hit in his right buttocks when the outlet’s security guard fired the shot.
In the 11.30am incident, three suspects armed with machetes and wearing helmets, entered the premises. Three other accomplices waited outside on their motorcycles. He said one of the suspects ordered an employee to open the door but he refused and shortly after a security guard stationed outdoors, came pointing a gun at the suspects.
“The security guard’s action caused the suspects to run off leaving two who tried to attack him with a machete. The security guard fired a shot at the two suspects hitting one of them. The injured suspect was taken to Kuala Lumpur General Hospital for treatment and the case was being investigated under Section 393 of the Penal Code for attempted robbery,” he added.
