A group of armed bandits cold-bloodedly opened fire in the middle of public, while targeting a G4S transit vehicle, wounding three bystanders.
The crowded garage was sent into a frenzied panic after a man refueling his vehicle was shot in his head, and a pregnant mother with her daughter were both wounded.
