The Khmer Times seems to think that this was a repeat performance:

May 25, 2022
‘Phantom Gunman’ of Phnom Penh strikes again
Khmer Times
The ‘Phantom Gunman’ of Phnom Penh has struck for the second time in a week, causing confusion and surprise in the capital.

Last week we reported how residents of Phnom Penh’s Chamkar Mon district were left bemused after a mystery gunman fired 3 shots into the air – and then drove away.

Last night, it was the turn of the innocent folk of Khan Por Sen Chey to be baffled by the mystery sniper

The incident occurred at 9 pm on May 24, 2022 in front of Wat Tek Panho, Tek Panho Village, Sangkat Samrong Krom, Khan Por Sen Chey, Phnom Penh. Phnom Penh.

According to sources, a black Ford car came to a stop at the scene and the driver pulled out a pistol and fired and fired 4 shots into the inky-black night sky.
The mystery shooter then drive away, leaving residents startled and confused.

However, the two events were not in the same area, and it was not the same car. Is it within the realms of possibility that there is more than one moron driving around Phnom Penh at night, firing off his pistol into the air for no 'reason' ? (Except that he CAN.)
