SEREMBAN – A 43-year-old man was killed while another was injured after two assailants on a motorcycle fired into a moving car in Malaysia.
Negeri Sembilan police chief Alzafny Ahmad said the shooting took place during morning rush hour in Jalan Rasah, Seremban.

Deputy Commissioner Ahmad added that both the victims were still alive at the scene and were rushed to hospital, but one died while receiving treatment at the Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital.
He said: “We believe the deceased is a bodyguard and driver to the second victim.
