KUALA LUMPUR: An unknown gunman or gunmen fired several shots at a man and his two-year-old daughter in Semenyih Thursday night, killing the girl and critically injuring her father, police said Friday.

"I was saddened to see the girl with a gunshot wound on the right side of her head and immediately called the police although I was shaking all over," he told Bernama when contacted.
