Shop owner grazed in drive-by shooting

WICHIT: The owner of a noodle restaurant was injured in a drive-by shooting while she worked in her shop last night.
A teenager eating at the restaurant at the time, believed to have been the intended target, said he recognized the shooter as the same man who had once stabbed his brother.
Lt Col Yongyut Krongmalai, an Investigating Inspector at the Phuket City Police Station, said the victim, the owner of a noodle stall on Chao Fa West Rd near Dowroong Wittaya School, was not seriously injured as the bullet had only grazed her upper thigh.
“And after I investigated, I determined the real target was Thinnawong Martkla, 18, who was eating with his girlfriend at the time. He saw the gunman drive past once, and when he drove back again he shot at him but missed, hitting the shop owner.”
Police said they are continuing the investigation but the teen was able to identify the shooter only by his nickname, “Mo”.
