A shooting at a restaurant in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, on Friday (June 13), left one person dead and two injured.
CCTV video footage circulating on social media shows a group of seven men dining at a restaurant when the gunmen pull up behind them on a motorcycle.
Upon seeing them, the seven diners run away in different directions.
Brickfields police chief Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood said the incident happened at around 10.50pm and the seven men were between the ages 30 to 50, reported Free Malaysia Today.
He said that there were two gunmen in total and both fired several shots at the diners.
"One of the victims was confirmed dead at the scene and his body was sent to the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre for a post-mortem," said Ku.
"Two other victims are receiving treatment at the same hospital. One of them suffered serious injuries while the other sustained minor injuries."
Further investigations are ongoing, including examining CCTV footage, identifying the motive for the incident and the suspects involved.
"There is nothing to alarm the public at this time and the police will investigate this case from various angles," he added.
"Members of the public with information about the incident are advised to contact the police or the nearest police station to assist in the investigation."
A witness told Malay language daily Harian Metro that she was speaking to a customer at her salon located on the upper floor of the same building when the incident happened.
"I was outside the shop, on the upper-level walkway, when I suddenly heard noises like explosions," she said.
"At first, I thought someone was setting off firecrackers, but I couldn't think of any festival."
When she looked towards the restaurant, she saw people hiding under tables.
"That’s when I knew something serious had happened," she said, adding that people were running in all directions to escape.
Some also ran into her salon to take shelter as most of the other nearby shops were closed.
"I called the police. I didn’t see the gunman, but I saw one of the victims trying to run.
"I believe he had already been shot and was trying to escape. By the time police arrived, the gunman had fled," she said.
She added that this was the first such incident in the area, which is usually calm late at night.
