Five Shot In Bank As Guard Bungles

Five customers were wounded when a bank security guard in Malaysia accidentally dropped his shotgun, local media reported on Thursday.

Three armed guards were delivering cash to the Maybank branch in Malacca when one of them dropped his weapon in the ATM area, police spokesman Sidin Abdul Karim was quoted as saying by the Bernama news agency.

The shotgun fired as it struck the floor, sending pellets flying within the enclosed area and hitting five people standing in line to draw cash.

"I was shocked to hear the blast and fell down as both of my legs were in pain," victim Ong Poh Choo said. She was hit in both legs by six pellets.

The five victims were rushed to hospital where they will be operated on to remove the pellets. The guard has been held by police for questioning.
