Kuala Lumpur police chief Mazlan Lazim said the video on the shootings, which has gone viral on social media today, was not a real incident but only a scene being filmed for a movie.

"There were no shootings, so the public do not have to worry over the incident," he said when contacted by Bernama today.

The one-minute eight-second video which showed gunfire exchange between a police team and several criminals, also saw two victims covered with blood lying on the road, believed to have been killed.
