SINGAPORE : A 43-year-old man was shot by Police at Outram Park MRT Station on Thursday afternoon. The incident happened on the boarding platform for West-bound trains at Outram Park station just before 4pm. Police said the man was involved in a stabbing incident earlier at nearby Jalan Kukoh, where another man was killed. It is a rare sight for Singapore Police man to open fire at suspect, the last time a police fired a shot was at 2002.
It is definitely shocking news!!! A policeman fires a shot is already very rare and now the shot is fired at MRT Station where there are public commuters, it is even rarer. Media has reported that the officer has no choice but to fire the shot. However many public has questions, “Why didn’t he shot the legs or arms?” or “Was the situation handled properly?”
I personally feel that the police are right in firing the shot, but not at his chest. The suspect poses a danger to the public and he may harm the public commuters.
