Occasionally, he heard the sound of iron balls flying into houses, so he hid behind a tree to avoid them, afraid of being hit.

According to Mr. Su, at noon on March 5, a woman driving a 4-seater car parked in front of the coffee shop to get a drink. At this time, iron ball bullets continued to fly. Some bullets were fired into the car, breaking the rear window.

Upon discovering the incident, the female car owner called her husband and informed the insurance agent. "They said they would report it to the police. I don't know if they did or not. A few days ago, a shoe shiner was also shot in the leg with an iron ball and was bruised," Mr. Su said.

Ms. Thuy (43 years old, local resident) said that on March 4, the shooting of iron balls in the area lasted all day. The bullets flew so fast that people did not know where they were coming from. "Yesterday, a car had its window shot and it broke. The person who caused the incident must have been scared so he did not dare to shoot anymore," Ms. Thuy said.

According to Ms. Thuy, every time they heard the sound of steel ball bearings hitting the corrugated iron roof, everyone went into their houses to hide. The residential area near Tan Son Nhat airport has been like this for a month now, everyone is upset.
