KOTA TINGGI: A couple narrowly escaped being hit by stray bullets in a shooting incident in Taman Daiman Jaya near here this morning.

Kota Tinggi police chief Supt Mohd Nor Rasid said the couple were doing some housework at about 9.40am in the kitchen when the bullets came.

According to him, a resident in the housing estate noticed a grey-coloured MPV without registration plates speeding off after the shots were fired.

He added that police have increased patrols in the housing estate following the incident.

Those with information on the case are urged to contact the Kota Tinggi police headquarters at 07 - 8831222.

"Suddenly I heard exploding sounds and when I checked found a bullet lodged in the kitchen grille door. Luckily we were not hit," he said. - Bernama
