Shooting in Phnom Penh near Phsar PC

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Shooting in Phnom Penh near Phsar PC

Post by vladimir »

My neighbour, a senior civil servant, just got shot (about 5pm) 5 times outside the school next to Phsar PC, next to Dombok Spor (sp?) pagoda.

Apparently happened when he slowed down near the school.

More news as and when I get it, he is a really nice guy and good neighbour, his family likewise.

He is at the hospital now, no news on his condition. :cry:

Latest news, 5 shots fired, 3 hit him, two in the chest, one in the neck.

Apparently he can talk/is conscious, which in itself is a miracle

Also does he have feeling below his neck? Hopefully it missed his spine.

Holy shit! Vlad, live and on the scene.

If he makes it, his rap career will really take off. (And if he doesn't, God forbid, I'll be deleting ^that comment.)

You say he "slowed down" near the school. Why did he "slow down"?

What I mean is, was he slowing down for an unusual reason, or does he always slow down near the school?

Do you know if he has been involved in the recent events at Freedom Park?

And sorry to hear this, he sounds like a good guy.

Apparently one bullet hit his spine. May be in surgery now, unconfirmed.

He was slowing down near the school because that's what people do: small children are around.
