KUALA LUMPUR: A two year old toddler who was
shot by a stray bullet in Semenyih on Thursday succumbed to her
injuries while her father is in critical condition.
In the 9.45pm incident, the child was with her father in a shop along
Jalan Besar in Semenyih town when both of them were hit by bullets from
an unidentified assailant who opened fire.
Selangor CID chief deputy commissioner Datuk Mohd Adnan Abdullah said
initial investigations revealed that the gunman was targeting the
father.
"Both of them were taken to Kajang Hospital by the public.
"The daughter was pronounced dead, while the father who is in critical condition is being treated there," Mohd Adnan said.
He added that police are in the midst of investigations to ascertain the motive behind the incident.
Meanwhile, Kajang police chief ACP Willey Richard told reporters that
the father was shot at least three times on the neck and thigh while
the daughter was shot in the head.
He was speaking to the media after handing over new patrol bikes to
the Motorcycle Patrolling Unit (URB) of four police stations at the
Kajang police headquarters today.
Willey added that the father who is in his 40s is still unconscious.
He added that the father owns a barbershop near the scene of the shooting.
"We are in the midst of establishing the motive and there is no
closed-circuit television (CCTV) within the area and no eye-witnesses
during the incident. It happened in the blink of an eye," he added.
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
