Occasionally, when he heard iron ball bullets flying into people's houses, making noise, he immediately hid under a tree to avoid it, afraid of being hit.
According to Mr. Su, at noon on March 5, a woman drove a 3-seater car to park in front of the coffee shop to get a drink. At this time, iron ball bullets continued to fly. Several bullets were fired into the car, causing the rear window to break.
Discovering the incident, the female car owner called her husband to come and notify the insurance agent. “They said they would go to the police. I don't know if there will be a report or not. A few days ago, a shoe shiner was also shot and bruised in the leg by an iron ball," Mr. Su said.
According to the male security guard, more than a month ago, people reported to the police that iron ball shooting had occurred in the locality. The police went down to check but did not find the culprit. About 3 days later, the iron ball shooting situation recurred to this day.

Ms. Thuy (43 years old, local resident) said that on March 4, iron ball shooting took place all day in the area. The bullets flew so fast that people did not know where they came from. “Yesterday, a car's glass was broken. Maybe the person who caused the incident was also scared so he didn't dare shoot again," Ms. Thuy said.
According to Ms. Thuy, every time they heard the sound of iron ball bullets hitting the corrugated iron roof, everyone went into the house to hide. If the residential area close to Tan Son Nhat airport has been like this for a month now, everyone is upset.
“Lam Son Street has a lot of traffic and pedestrians. If the shooting continues, it will be very dangerous. On January 25, people reported to the police. Yesterday (March 1), people continued to report the incident to the police," Ms. Thuy said.
