Police apologise for shooting another boy
By Asrul Hadi Abdullah SaniMay 08, 2010
KUALA LUMPUR, May 8 — The police have apologised for the shooting of a teenager in Gemencheh early today, and have detained a policeman over the incident.
The latest case comes just two weeks after a schoolboy, 14-year-old Aminulrasyid Amzah, was killed in a police shooting.
Negeri Sembilan police chief SAC I Datuk Osman Salleh told reporters he has apologised to the family of the boy in today’s shooting.
Osman also confirmed that the officer involved was currently under investigation for failing to follow the standard operating procedure in the discharge of firearms.
“We have suspended him as he violated the Inspector-General of Police’s Standard Orders on when a policeman is allowed to open fire.
“Since the lives of the policemen were not in danger, he should not have opened fire,” he said.
According to reports, the police constable was alleged taunted by the motorcyclist who he kept weaving in front of the patrol car at 3.30am today.
The policeman, who has been in service for one-and-a half years, then fired a shot after the cyclist repeatedly refused to pull over.
Mohd Azizi Aziz, 17, was shot in his hip and has since undergone surgery at the Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital.
Osman said preliminary investigations indicated that the policeman did not intend to shoot the victim.
“He took out his pistol from the left window and wanted to fire a warning shot but it hit the victim. We will, however, have to verify this,” he said.
Mohd Azizi is the second case since Aminulrasyid was fatally shot 100 meters from his house.
Police alleged Aminulrasyid had tried to ram into police officers in Section 11, Shah Alam, causing them to open fire in “self-defence.”
However, this has been disputed by Azauddin Omar, 15, the lone passenger in the car when the 14-year-old was shot in the back of his head.
The government has since set up a special panel, headed by Deputy Home Minister Datuk Abu Seman Yusup, to investigate into the shooting.
Abu Seman has said that action would be taken if the officers involved were found to be at fault..
“If the policeman is found to have been negligent, we will let the law take its own course,” he said during a press conference. - TMI

Tindakan yang wajar. Umur 17 tahun dah pandai mempermain2kan undang-undang. Semoga selepas kejadian ini ibubapa lebih perihatin kpd kegiatan anak2 mereka.
aku setuju dgn adf55650..
Tindakan Polis sangat tidak wajar kerana magsa dibawah umur dan tidak bersenjata. Polis hanya boleh mengeluarkan senjata jika mereka dalam situasi berbahaya yg melibatkan penjenayah menggunakan senjata. Walau bagaimana pun, Polis hanya boleh menembak di bawah lutut dimana ianya menyebabkan kecederaan yang minimal. Dalam kes ini, kesemua diatas tidak diendahkan.
-Peguam Selangor
peguam selangor, ni soalan budak2.. nak tanya umur suspek mcmana kalau dia lari? ...
+ satu lagi.. mintak peguam selangor atau top shooter olympic negara tembak bawah lutut mana2 suspek time kereta bergerak guna senjata standard kerajaan..??
Kalau polis kena tembak,kena aniaya penjenayah peguam ambil tahu ke?
kalau polis kena tembek, kena aniaya penjenayah peguam ambil tahu kee?
Nak Tanya kalau polis kena tembak atau kena aniaya penjenayah ada ke peguam ambil tahu. kalau polis tembak penjenayah ada peguam ucap terima kasih ke? kalau polis bantu selesai masaalah jalanraya ada ucap terima kasih ke?
Banyak yang baik dari Polis ,kesilapan adalah perkara yang semua orang tak mahu.
