KOTA KINABALU: It started with a brawl before the shooting at Kampung Lok Urai in Pulau Gaya took place on Wednesday. District police chief Assistant Commissioner Habibi Majinji said the 36-year-old victim, who was on a bridge, was having a shouting match with the suspect, who was on a boat. “The victim had challenged the suspect, shouting ‘if you dare, you come’, before he was shot at from 10 to 15 metres," he said, adding that the motive was likely due to personal matters. In the same shooting incident, two children, aged three and 10, were also injured with one child believed to have been shot in the back and the other in the abdomen. We are hoping the school will contact us and clarify whether the incident has really taken place," he said.
