It seems there was an argument at the traffic lights between the food delivery youths on motorbikes and another party on a motorbike, who took out a pistol and shot four times, hitting the youths in the legs; however, their days are not in danger. The gunman escaped from the scene of the shooting, and police are still investigating, questioning victims and witnesses.

At least the guy was a bad shot and didn't kill any of them!

What’s in the delivery box? Anything small enough to go unnoticed to the causal observer?

UPDATE
The victims may not be who you think...
Image
Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): When a group of delivery drivers chased down and attacked two men on a motorcycle, a man who was sitting in a restaurant near the scene pulled out a gun and fired several shots to disperse the attackers, but instead of fleeing , they attempted to rush the gunman, who then fired at their legs and shot four of them.

This shocking incident happened at 1 am on December 12, 2022 in front of a shop with a pig's nose along Monivong Blvd, Sangkat Tonle Bassac, Khan Chamkarmon, Phnom Penh.
Image
According to the victims, who were chased and attacked by the gang of delivery drivers, the two of them initially had a verbal dispute with the group, who then chased them all along Route 271 from west to east. Then at the scene of the shooting, the motorcycles stopped, and the gang threw stones at the two other men and went to attack them with a knife.

An eye-witness said that suddenly an unknown man, who was sitting by the street eating at the night restaurant, pulled out a gun and fired a shot in the air to disperse the group. But the gangsters showed no fear, and instead they rounded on the man with the gun, who then fired several shots at the group, injuring four people in the legs. The gunman left the scene immediately.
Image
Later, military police arrived at the scene to collect the ammunition and take statements from witnesses, and meanwhile the injured men were taken to hospital with minor gunshot wounds.

Sounds like a pretty calm head - shooting them non-lethally on being rushed

This is really shocking. How terrifying for any onlookers as well, just crazy stuff.

What a twist! This could be the opening of a good revenge film where the four delivery boys hunt down the shooter, sort of like a John Wick but Khmer style

From the updated news story it might appear that the shooter was coming to the defense of the 2 guys being mobbed by the group of "delivery drivers"

The shooter remained calm enough to aim for and hit the legs of the would be assailants as after firing some warning shots in the air to try to disperse them they apparently tried to take him on. Not sure if that was the brightest idea they had that night to be fair and they could have ended up much worse for wear.

What caused the initial confrontation with the delivery drivers is not stated so we cannot say for sure who "started it" as it were but the shooter certainly finished it.
