"Police said the suspects had fled the crime scene soon after the shooting" Wow what an investigation, I thought the suspects stayed back clicked a selfie and waited for the cops. Grand Theft Auto crime rate was lesser and cops were more efficient.

The US National Rifle Association is very much active in Sri Lanka now. They don't use the knife any more like in the UK. See how advanced are we?

The police is only good for one thing, collecting revenue for the state and themselves.
