PASIR MAS: A series of gunshots early this morning shattered the peaceful slumber of a family in their home in Kampung Apa-Apa, Gelang Mas, near here, causing panic in the neighbourhood.
Despite no reported casualties, the incident, which took place around 3am today, resulted in damage to a car and a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
A resident who wished to be known only as Yie, 30, said despite feeling frightened, he gathered the courage to go outside and inspect the house after he thought the situation was safe.
"I heard at least four gunshots last night and upon going out, there were indeed bullet holes on the car, as well as broken windows," said Yie.
"There were also bullet marks on the walls of the house," he added.
Yie further mentioned that his family did not have any enemies, and he was confused as to why their home was targeted.
He said he had lodged a police report and hoped that the authorities would be able to identify the perpetrators as he was concerned for the safety of his family and himself.
Pasir Mas police chief Assistant Commissioner Kama Azural Mohamed confirmed receiving a report regarding the incident and further investigations were underway.
