PETALING JAYA, 28 FEBRUARY, 2012: A man sustained injuries on his left rib when several men shot him while he was waiting for his child to finish school outside Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan La Salle, Jalan Templer in Taman Gasing, here today.

Petaling Jaya Police Chief ACP Arjunaidi Mohamed said the 36-year-old victim was in his Proton Wira Aeroback car when several men on motorcycles approached him and fired six shots in the incident at noon.
