Two armed men hit and shot two female sanitation employees several times in Quang Ngai City under the namesake province, located in central Vietnam early on Thursday morning.
The shooting occurred at 1:00 am while the two women were collecting trash on Pham Van Dong Street in Nghia Chanh Ward, Quang Ngai City.
The victims were identified as Vo Thi Luu, 42, and Le Thi Minh Khai, 35, both employees of Quang Ngai Urban Environment JSC.
A preliminary investigation showed that two men pulled up alongside the women on a motorbike and began beating Khai.
Luu tried to stop them but one of the men opened fire and shot her in the thigh and then proceeded to shoot Khai three times in the leg.
The men fled the scene after striking the women several more times.
The two women were rushed to a nearby hospital where they were treated.
Their health is now stable but they are still in a state of panic.
Bui Van Quang, director at Quang Ngai Urban Environment JSC, said that the firm dispatched executives to the hospital to support the two women, and is cooperating with police officers to investigate the two men.
