A Policeman Was Shot In The Hand This Evening At Khoo Teck Puat Hospital

[steffychun]

SPF really owed the paramedics hell of a lot. First they provided ambulance for protection from rioting mock. Now they help to subdue a dangerous criminal with a gun. They should seriously consider swooping the uniform of SCDF and SPF.

aye the lowest always saved the day. But paramedics do not get PSC scholarships.

Police have classified the case as one of Unlawful Discharge of Firearms under the Arms Offences Act.
The suspect, a 24-year-old Singaporean man, was arrested for motor vehicle theft on 19 June 2015 and under remand for further investigations. On 20 June 2015, the suspect complained of chest pains and was escorted by Police officers to KTPH to seek medical attention. While inside one of the hospital’s examination rooms, which are not accessible to the public, the suspect attempted to escape but was stopped by one of the Police officers. A struggle ensued during which the suspect snatched the Police officer’s revolver. Shots were fired from the 31-year-old officer’s revolver. The subject was subsequently subdued and the situation brought under control.
The suspect sustained superficial injuries while the Police officer suffered gunshot wounds to his left thumb and right foot. The officer was subsequently conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. He has since undergone surgery and is currently in a stable condition.
The suspect will be produced in Court on 22 June 2015 at 2pm on a holding charge of Unlawful Discharge of Firearms under Section 4(1) of the Arms Offences Act Chapter 14, which carries the death penalty.

the unlawful discharge of firearms means if you simply shoot a firearm for fun but didn't injure anyone you die right? so if you injure someone especially an officer that's even worse right?

This is the fate awaiting all who illegally discharges a firearm, especially when committing crimes. If the US had such a law, they wouldn't be having serious gun crimes every season.

First, why was the pistol not put to "safe"?? what's the S.O.P.?? I remember during my time in National Slavery.....we use to have Anti-Riot drills...all weapons, were put to SAFE.

Can the defence argue that, they struggled & the firearms was accidentally discharged??

There is no 'safe' for most police sidearms such as the Smith & Wesson or the Glock.

Don't obfuscate the issue by bringing in US and serious gun crimes and write off SPF's screw up.

Did the 24 year old guy have the firearm in his possession?

It is the policeman's incompetence that resulted in the suspect getting hold of the gun that belongs to the policeman.

What nonsense! By this logic, all drug dealers here should get off with a light punishment because if custom police was more diligent, the drug dealers shouldn't have any drugs to push.

This farker dare to snatch a cop's gun and discharge it at the cop. Hang the bastard already!

Here, another of the SPF's screw up that netizen have pointed out.

Don't twist and change the subject.

It is common sense that the police should be train to be alert and hold on to their weapon. Tell me, is it that easy to snatch a cop's gun and baton.

So, what gives in this case?

The only Safety on the Taurus revolver is the nut that keeps it safe. Ever hear policemen dropping their gun from their holster before.

Shot through the hand
And you're to blame
You give cops
A bad name
I think you fart
And you have no shame
You give cops...
A bad name

Wow the paramedics can subdue the criminal when he was holding a gun. KTPH. Are the paramedics foreigners since many medical support staff are foreigners there?

in sg, paramedics and ambulance personnel make better cops than spf poodles as they not only handle patients but also provide safety and shelter to spf personnel.

Ya they make you die and take away yr organs so you can join the orchestra in your afterlife.

The SHOOTER, despite having asthma and chest pains, appears to be very seasoned in firearms; knowing how to unlock the safety lever of the Taurus .38 and is able to disable the policeman with pinpoint accurate shooting; to the thumb and toes of a moving target!

If arrested, his defence for shooting would be; NO INTENTION to kill but to DISABLE, escaping a more serious charge of intending to KILL.
