QuickCheck: Did a man open fire during a robbery attempt in Johor?
"When was the last time you had a desk pop?" This line from the now iconic scene in the movie The Other Guys is when Detective Allen Gamble (played by Will Ferrell) was pranked into firing his pistol while sitting at his desk at work. Like Allen, sometimes when things aren't going your way at work, you just have to release some steam and have a desk pop. All jokes aside, did a robber shoot his gun during a failed robbery attempt before fleeing the scene? VERDICT: TRUE Police are investigating a robbery attempt in Seri Alam where a man is believed to have fired a shot before fleeing the scene on a motorcycle. Seri Alam OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Sohaimi Ishak said the incident, which has been making rounds on social media, occurred outside a shop in Taman Megah Ria at about 7.10pm on Saturday (July 19). 'The man entered the shop and pointed an object believed to be a pistol at the victim while demanding cash. 'The suspect then fired a shot outside the shop before escaping on a motorcycle. 'However, no injuries were reported,' he said in a statement on Sunday (July 20). ACP Sohaimi said the case was being investigated under Section 3 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971 for discharging a firearm during an attempted robbery, which carries the death penalty or life imprisonment and whipping upon conviction. He urged anyone with information about the incident to contact the nearest police station or the Seri Alam police headquarters at 07-3871422 or hotline 07-3864222. In the 31-second video that went viral, the man is seen falling before getting up and fleeing the scene on a motorcycle while holding an object that looked like a gun.

Elland Road erupts for Will Ferrell's unique t-shirt as Leeds investor is spotted in the crowd during dull 0-0 draw with Man United
Actor and part-owner of Leeds United Will Ferrell was spotted at their pre-season friendly against Manchester United on Saturday afternoon. Ferrell, 58, was in the crowd at the Stockholm Arena in Sweden as the Red Devils got their pre-season preparations under way against the Whites. However, during a drab first half in a match that ended up finishing 0-0, attention quickly turned to the Stepbrothers' actor's presence in the stands. Upon realising this, he began buffing his chest out and pointing to his t-shirt, which had the words 'I ❤️ Gnesta' printed on it. A round of cheers and applause then went up from other fans inside the arena once they caught a glimpse of the star. Ferrell will be hoping Leeds can solidify a spot in the Premier League after winning the Championship title last season under former Norwich boss Daniel Farke. The American purchased a minority stake in the club in after randomly 'falling in love with the English game' in May 2024. Ferrell's relationship with football goes far beyond his 2005 film Kicking & Screaming - as he has been seen regularly attending matches and has posed for pictures with the likes of Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold. Two years after its founding in 2014, Ferrell became a co-owner of Los Angeles FC in the MLS. He followed in the footsteps of fellow Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who have enjoyed a sustained period of success since taking over at Wrexham in 2020. The Red Dragons will make a return to the Championship in 2025-26 after three promotions on the bounce. Former NFL star Tom Brady has also seen Birmingham City promoted to the second tier after buying a minority stake in the Blues in August 2023. Leeds will be hoping to get their 2025-26 season off to a winning start when they face Everton in their first Premier League fixture.
