SUBANG JAYA: A man high on police's wanted list was shot dead when he attempted to open fire on a team of policemen at Jalan USJ11/1D here today.
Earlier in the day, police had sent a team to inspect a car parked in front of a house in the neighbourhood after residents had called to complain about its presence.
As the team approached the Proton Wira and identified themselves as policemen, they found a man who was napping in the car.
The man, caught by surprise, quickly whipped out his gun and trained it at the policemen.
The policemen, in self defence, opened fire.
Selangor deputy police chief Datuk Abdul Rahim Jaafar the policemen fired three shots at the man, who died at the scene.
Rahim said checks showed that the man was the main suspect behind a shooting case in Batu Caves, which saw two people injured on June 21.
Police also seized a Glock pistol, which contained three bullets in the chamber.
Rahim said police are tracking down another man who was also involved in the Batu Caves shooting.
