Samurai Malaysia JPMPUTRAJAYA: A couple armed with samurai swords went amok at the Prime Minister’s Office  here today, leaving police little choice but to open fire on them. The incident is believed to have occurred at 2.30pm, when a man and woman arrived at the entrance of the PM’s office in Parcel B here. They met with a voluntary police constable on duty and asked for permission to enter the PM’s office. When their request was denied after failing to produce an official reason, the two brought out the bladed weapons and threatened the officers in charge. The man and woman then charged into Block B of the complex and went amok, smashing the windscreens of several vehicles parked there (pic). Within moments, a police MPV patrol team arrived at the scene and attempted to calm down the suspects but failed. When the couple charged at them with their weapons, police opened fire. The woman was shot in her left thigh while the man was shot in the arm. KL police’s criminal investigation department chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Datuk Ku Chin Wah confirmed the incident, and said the suspects were arrested and immediately rushed to the Putrajaya Hospital for treatment. “”We are still investigating their motive for carrying out the attack,” he said.
