Police believe the person who opened fire inside the Setia City Mall in Setia Alam, Shah Alam last night was a local.

Social media was lit up last night when shoppers allege they heard gunfire.

There were videos being shared on TikTok, with one person saying this was their first time seeing someone get shot.

Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan later confirmed the shooting incident and detailed what had happened.

The suspect was believed to have arrived at the mall at 10pm. He then approached a foreign national who worked as a cleaner at the mall.

He fired at least 8 shots at the male cleaner using a pistol.

Bold escape

As if that wasn’t enough, he fled the scene by hijacking a car and forcing the person behind the wheels to get him out of the area.

He ordered the driver to drop him off near the Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS).

The driver then lodged a police report.

The injured cleaner was rushed to hospital and is currently receiving treatment.

As of the latest update early this morning, the suspect has yet to be apprehended and cops are focusing their search on the area where he was dropped off.

GSC issues refund

After the incident, Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) informed on social media that the mall had been temporarily closed and all patrons were asked to vacate the premises.

GSC said they will be issuing refunds for shows that were cancelled and for those whose screenings were interrupted at the time of the incident.
