A vengeful dad shot the lorry driver who had fatally run over his daughter with a homemade gun.
The bitter father shot the man in the head at point-blank range inside the lorry driver’s business on Monday (28 Apr).
The agricultural supply shop owner fell onto his back and gradually went limp as his blood stained the floor.

A seated worker could be seen getting up from his chair and walking over to his felled colleague in disbelief.
The gunman also walked back towards his victim and tried to shoot him in the face a second time.
However, the firearm apparently jammed, as reported by Need To Know.
He briefly tried to unjam the gun but then opted to turn around and walk out of the shop.
The worker followed him as the victim remained twitching on the floor.
The horror unfolded in Trà Ôn District, southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Local media say 43-year-old, Nguyen Vinh Phuc, shot N.V.B.T. in revenge for a tragedy involving his daughter.
Phuc’s daughter was 14 years old when she died in a traffic accident on 4 September 2024.
N.V.B.T. was behind the wheel of a lorry when he strayed into the opposite lane to overtake a parked pickup truck.
Nguyen Ngoc Bao Tr. and her friend were riding their electric bikes in that lane at the time.
After seeing the lorry stray into her path, Bao’s friend braked.
Bao was riding a short distance behind, crashed into her friend, and fell onto the tarmac.
She was then fatally run over by the lorry’s front wheel.
Judges later found N.V.B.T. to have been at fault for overtaking unsafely.
But, a subsequent review, concluded that Bao had failed to keep a safe distance or pay attention to the vehicle ahead.
After shooting 33-year-old N.V.B.T., Phuc walked for about 200 m before shooting himself in the head.
Responding police rushed both men to A&E and seized Phuc’s homemade, revolver-style gun.
At the time of the last update on Monday, both men were in critical condition.
