Bank officer shot in the head

A female bank officer was shot in the head by a security guard who wanted to rob the vault on Wednesday.

A police source said the incident, which took place in USJ Sentral 2 in Subang Jaya, happened when the suspect was with the victim and four other officers inside the vault.

The bank officers had wanted to keep an undisclosed amount of money at 6.18pm.

However, the suspect, believed to be from Sabah, fired a shot from his pump gun and hit the 37-year-old victim in the head, killing her instantly.

The suspect got away on a motorcycle together with an undisclosed amount of money.

Meanwhile, quoting Selangor deputy police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Abdul Rahim Jaafar, The Star Online reported that the suspect was the only male staff among the five stationed at the bank.

He said according to the security firm, the suspect who had only been employed for a year, was meant to be a replacement guard and had worked in another bank next to the crime scene.

Abdul Rahim said facts over the suspect’s identity were, however, dubious.

“Checks on his I.C. reveal that it was a fake. We are going to look into this more and find out how he was employed with a fake IC,” the portal quoted him as saying.

He warned the public to be cautious as the suspect is still at large and urged those with any information on the suspect to come forward.

It was reported that the victim has been identified as Norazita Abu Talib, 37, a mother of two.
