KUALA LUMPUR: A suspected car thief believed to be involved in the recent shooting of two policemen at Jalan Kuchai Lama was killed in a shoot-out with the police.
The drama unfolded after a police patrol car tried to stop a Proton Waja near Mid Valley Megamall at around 3am yesterday.
Wan Fadrul-zaman Wan Mohamad Fadil The driver sped off when the police attempted to stop the car. A chase ensued until the suspect lost control of his vehicle at the parking lot of a water theme park nearby, said City CID chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ku Chin Wah.
“When police approached the car, the 32-year-old suspect opened fire at them.
“My men had no choice but to return fire and the suspect succumbed to gun shot wounds,” he said yesterday.
“A semi-automatic pistol along with several rounds of 9mm bullets as well as two bullet shells were found in the car,” he said, adding that the vehicle was reported stolen in Kelana Jaya recently.
