The man, aged 24, was shot twice by an unidentified gunman on a motorcycle.
The victim was hit on the thigh and arms. He, however, managed to run to a nearby house to shield himself from the gunman, who then fled the scene.
The shooting incident took place at an eating outlet at Kampung Neting, near Pengkalan Kubor in Kelantan at about 3.15pm
According to a report in NST Online, while the victim and his two friends were having a meal, a man on a motorcycle pulled up and opened fire.

Kelantan Criminal Investigation Department (CID) head ACP Wan Khairuddin Wan Idris said that the victim's two friends, both in their 20s, also managed to escape the incident without being harmed
According to him, while the gunman pursued the victim as he ran, he gave up and fled when his target took cover at a nearby house.
