KUALA LUMPUR – Two men were killed after a shootout with police officers in Jalan Abad, Taman Abad in Johor Bahru yesterday evening. 

Johor police chief M. Kumar said the state police confirmed receiving a report regarding the exchange of fire at 5.04pm. 

He said a 42-year-old suspect and his accomplice were shot dead in the multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) they were on. 

“The incident occurred when a police team from D14, criminal investigation department (CID) Bukit Aman, together with D9, CID Johor, followed a white Toyota Estima at the scene of the incident under suspicious circumstances. 

“When they realised that they were being followed, the suspects tried to escape while firing several shots at the police vehicle tailing closely behind them. 

“This prompted the police to open fire on the MPV they were riding in. The exchange of gunfire continued until the situation was controlled,” he said in a statement. 

Kumar said checks revealed that both suspects in the Toyota Estima had been shot and killed. 

He added that the 42-year-old suspect had 38 criminal and drug records, while the identity of the other suspect remains unknown as no identification documents were found. 

“Further inspection also two firearms in the suspects’ vehicle. 

“The police also found a pistol on the body of one of the suspects.  

“Various types of substances believed to be dangerous drugs were also found in the vehicle,” he added. 

The case was investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code, Kumar said. 

“People who have any information regarding this incident are requested to come forward and contact the Johor police hotline at 019-2792095 or the operations room at 07-221299,” he said. 

Earlier, several videos showing the shooting incident went viral, shocking road users and residents. – June 15, 2024
