Two suspected gang members shot dead in Jitra highway shootout with police
JITRA, July 5 — Two men suspected to be criminals were shot dead in a shoot-out with police at the North-South Expressway entrance ramp here at 8.05 am today. Kedah police chief Datuk Fisol Salleh said before the incident, policemen patrolling the area came across a suspicious four-wheel drive vehicle before being ordered to stop. 'The suspects then opened fire on the police vehicle, ending in a shootout that left both suspects killed in the vehicle. 'In the vehicle, police found two firearms, a revolver and semi-automatic pistol, several bullets, a machete and tools for carrying out their criminal activities,' he told reporters at the scene. He said a background check on one of the suspects, aged 41, revealed that he has more than 40 criminal records while the identity of the other suspect was still unknown due to lack of identification.

'So far, the Forensic Unit has found three bullet casings at the scene and the investigation process is still underway. The bodies of the two suspects have been sent to the Forensic Department of the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Setar for autopsy and the case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code (for attempted murder),' he said.
