Preah Sihanouk Provincial Television, September 12: A serious shooting occurred at about 10 p.m. last night near the Sihanoukville location named in the Chinese source as 太子海滨一号望海阁. Repeated gunshots were heard, at least one person was injured and taken to hospital, and nearby residents fled in panic.
Local police responded quickly and launched an operation, arresting 35 suspects, most of them Chinese nationals, and seizing more than ten long guns and handguns.
The provincial police commissioner, named in the Chinese source as 索·罗塔, said preliminary investigations suggested a business dispute may have triggered the incident. The suspects were generally withholding information, and the precise motive was still being investigated. Police had increased patrols and security on and around the beach to prevent similar incidents.
