  "account": "A 17-year-old teenager was injured in both legs, believed to be caused by a shotgun bullet, in a shooting incident near a water station in Long Lidung, Jalan Ba Kelalan, Lawas, Malaysia. The victim was reported to have left his house around 5 p.m. on Saturday to visit the water station, which is approximately 1 km away from his residence after the water supply had been cut off. According to the Lawas Police Chief, Liong Tindan, a report was received at 9:51 a.m. on Sunday, and initial investigations found the victim suddenly feeling faint in both legs while walking around the water station area. Upon examination, it was discovered that the victim had four bullet wounds, as reported by Berita Harian. His father reportedly went looking for his son around 8 p.m. before finding him unconscious and administering first aid in the nearby forest area. The victim was then taken to Lawas Hospital for treatment and is currently reported to be in stable condition. Investigations are ongoing under Sections 37 of the Arms Act 1960 and Section 307 of the Penal Code to determine the cause of the incident and apprehend the individual involved. The public is requested to assist the investigation by providing relevant information and contacting the IPD Lawas at 085-283037 or any nearby police station. The Police Chief also advises the public not to speculate, as it may interfere with the investigation or undermine public security.",
