KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 -- A witness to a shooting at a restaurant on Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Brickfields, last night claimed she heard about 10 gunshots during the incident.

According to Harian Metro, the witness, Letchumi, said the shooting occurred between 10.30pm and 10.50pm while she was speaking with a customer at her salon located on the upper floor of the building above the restaurant.

"I was outside the shop, on the upper-level walkway, when I suddenly heard loud noises - like explosions.

"At first, I thought someone was setting off firecrackers, but I couldn't think of any festival.

"When I looked down, I saw people hiding under tables. That's when I knew something serious had happened," she reportedly told the national daily. ...
