Man shot on right shoulder by sister's ex-boyfriend

The New Straits Times, 18 Nov 2013

KAJANG: A 25-year-old was shot on his right shoulder by his sister's ex-boyfriend who is a police support personnel (polis sokongan) when his family refused the suspect's request to see her at the family's house here in Taman Megah today. 
 
The 28-year-old fired six shots, four of them were blanks, while the other hit a Perodua Myvi's wind shield belonging to the injured man technician T. Solomon, before fleeing.
 
According to the father T. Tholilaletholan, 59, his daughter T. Josephine, 26, had ended her relationship with the man known as Samuel last week due to his bad behaviour.
 
 "As her father, I also do not approve of the relationship, but it seems that the man cannot accept that,
 
 "He is part of the police force, but his behaviour does not mirror a discipline individual at all," Tholilaletholan said when met at his house this evening.
 
 He was not at home when the incident occurred at about 9.30am, but had came home as soon as he received a call from his wife A. Elizabeth, 56.
 
 It was learnt that the 28-year-old suspect came to the house just after 7am, to see his ex-girlfriend Josephine, but the girl's family had told him she had went to work in Bangi, disclosing the fact that she was indeed in the house at the time.
 
 An hour and a half later, the house with 10 occupants including the couple, their seven children and the grandmother, was once again visited by the suspect, and he had somehow saw his ex-girlfriend in the house this time around.
 
 He tried to barge in, but was stopped by several family members including Solomon who had urged him to leave the resident.
 
 Josephine had also told the man off, saying that their one-year love affair had ended, and there was no more to talk about, before going upstairs.
 
The suspect did not back off, instead, he climbed in on the gate, and then fired three initial blank shots, aiming at the window upstairs.
 
 After another blank shot, Solomon had wanted to stop the shooting but was hit, this time by a real bullet, on his right shoulder and fell.
 
The suspect then shot at the windshield of the Myvi parked in front of the house before making his escape.
 
 A supervisor working for the Kuala Lumpur City Council, Tholilaletholan told the New Straits Times that he received news from the police that the suspect was caught in Kajang town at 1pm.
 
 At press time, he was about to give his statement at the Kajang police station while his son's condition is stabilising after being warded at the district hospital.
 
 District police chief Assistant Commissioner Ab Rashid Ab Wahab when asked of the incident, had said that Selangor police chief Datuk Shukri Dahalan himself will issue a statement.
