GEORGE TOWN: A man made a short-lived dash for freedom after he was convicted for armed robbery at the Penang Court complex today.

Muhammad Elias Muhammad Yusoff, 27, appeared shocked after Judge Zulhazmi Abdullah found him guilty.

He suddenly bolted out of the dock and out of the courtroom on the first floor and headed for the exit at about 10.15am.

His route led him down a flight of stairs where he managed to just about reach the guard house before he was subdued by court police and security guards chasing after him.

They then handcuffed him and brought the still struggling shop assistant back to the dock for sentencing.

future court appearance .....

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?

I think once you fire, the law automatically assumes you have intention to fire at someone or something and you'll get death penalty.

By snatching the weapon from the police and discharging it 3 times shooting the policeman. It is obviously intended to fire at the police. Good luck to him. This is by default a death sentence.

SINGAPORE - Findings from the investigation into the shooting incident at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) will help identify the problem and the corrective actions needed in future, Second Minister for Home Affairs Masagos Zulkifli said on Monday.

Last Saturday, a 24-year-old Singaporean man under remand tried to escape from KTPH and snatched the revolver of a 31-year-old police officer who tried to stop him.

Three shots were fired in the struggle that ensued and the policeman was wounded in his left thumb and right foot.

The case has been classified as an unlawful discharge of firearms under the Arms Offences Act, which carries the death penalty.

The man, whose identity has not yet been revealed, will appear in court at 2pm this afternoon.

"It's still before the courts and we need to do investigation," said Mr Masagos on the sidelines of a HomeTeamNS event on Monday morning. "The findings from this investigation will help us diagnose what the problems are and what kind of correction we need to make for the future."

The man had been arrested for motor vehicle theft last Friday - a day before the shooting - and was under remand for further investigation. He had complained of chest pains on Saturday and was escorted by police officers to KTPH.

There, he tried to escape from one of the hospital's examination rooms, which are "not accessible to the public", police said.

It is believed that the escape attempt took place when the police officer's colleague left the room.

The suspect was subsequently subdued, with the help of two paramedics from Hope Ambulance Service, The Straits Times learnt.

The injured police officer was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital for immediate hand microsurgery and is now in stable condition.

Khoo Teck Puat shooting: Why it is not easy to remove a police officer's gun from his holster

SINGAPORE (The New Paper) - Last Saturday (June 20), a 24-year-old Singaporean man tried to escape from Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH), snatching the revolver of the police officer who tried to stop him in the process.

The man, who was arrested for motor vehicle theft the day before, was under escort to KTPH after complaining of chest pains.

Police officers escorting accused persons are armed with the .38 Taurus revolver. Here are three reasons why it is tough to remove the gun from an officer's holster.

1. The revolver is a housed in a snatch-resistant holster moulded to the gun. The gun can only be drawn vertically. This makes it difficult, though not impossible, to forcibly yank the revolver out during a struggle.

2. A buckle over the cocking hammer prevents the gun from being fired while partially in the holster. As long as the cocking hammer cannot be pulled back, the loading chamber is unable to rotate and the gun cannot fire.

3. All guns are further secured with a rubber lanyard which is secured to the butt of the revolver and the belt.

One less problematic person in the country.

The policeman should also be charged for negligence and sacked from the force.

there's much misinformation both in the news and online forums about the taurus .38-inch revolver's safety features, or lack of them. firstly, the most popular taurus revolver with .38 caliber ammo for law enforcement or home security organizations is the 82b4 model. it's made in brazil. it can carry a full 6 rounds in its chambers during service. in the old days, for safety purposes, revolvers normally carried 5 rounds although they had 6 chambers. the 12 o'clock chamber was left empty as tip of firing pin protruded into the chamber with hammer at rest. there was no pin block or transfer bar then. taurus was early to adopt an auto pin block (more appropriately a hammer block) and sold a ton of their revolvers with the "transfer bar" as a safety feature. the bar prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin in all conditions except when trigger is completely pulled (last and final click of the trigger). when hammer is cocked either in single-action (via trigger) or double-action (via thumb on hammer), the release of the hammer without final click of the trigger will not fire the round in the 12 o'clock chamber. this is because the "transfer bar" gets in the way of the hammer striking the pin. the only way for transfer bar to be released is via final click of the trigger, or when trigger is pulled completely. this feature allows all 6 rounds to be loaded with little to no chance of revolver misfiring unless trigger is pulled 100% and taurus patented security system is not activated (next post).
