Shots fired as motorcyclists chase Mercedes

KUALA LUMPUR: A real estate agent escaped unhurt after two men on two motorcycles fired two shots at her at Jalan Teratai 2, Setapak, here on Wednesday.
In the 5.30pm incident, a man wearing a helmet approached the victim's Mercedes Benz while it was parked near her workplace, and knocked on the window with an object believed to be a pistol.
The man instructed the 30-year-old victim to get out of her car, but she refused. Instead, she reversed and sped off.
Wangsa Maju district police chief Supt Mohamad Roy Suhaimi Sarif said as she was fleeing, the suspect fired a shot.
"Another man on a motorcycle suddenly tried to intercept her. A high-speed chase ensued and the victim struck the second suspect in her bid to escape. That's when she heard a second gunshot," he said today.
Upon reaching a safer place near Jalan Gombak, the victim contacted her boyfriend and subsequently lodged a police report.
"The car belongs to the boyfriend," Mohamad Roy said, adding that police are now in the midst of identifying the two suspects involved in the incident.
He said forensic inspection revealed that the shots hit the car's tires and side mirror.
Mohamad Roy said the victim is a single woman and her boyfriend is also not married.
The motive of the incident is under investigation and the case is being investigated under Section 3 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971.
