Earlier today, 17 May, two police officers on duty at the Ulu Tiram police station in Johor Bahru were killed in a brazen attack carried out by a suspected member of the terror group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI)
The two policemen were identified as Constables Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar and Syafiq Ahmad Said.
The suspect entered the station at around 2.35am on a motorcycle and went directly to the back of the station. One of the constables went to check but was fatally slashed by the suspect.
The suspect then seized the slain officer's firearm and began firing at other officers who were responding to the attack. The suspect managed to fatally shoot another constable in the face, Berita Harian reported.
Before the suspect could cause more harm, he was gunned down by another officer.
The two constables had joined the force less than two years ago
