On 15 June 2025 at about 11.55pm, the Police were alerted by the National University Hospital (NUH) that a 42-year-old man had sustained a gunshot wound. A bullet slug was lodged in the man’s left lower back. The injury is not life-threatening, and the man is currently in a stable condition, after surgery to remove the bullet slug. 

The man had been cycling with his friends in a forested area of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve between Upper Seletar Reservoir and Upper Peirce Reservoir at around 11.40am on 15 June when the incident occurred. The man was brought to the hospital by his friends. 

The public is not allowed to access that particular area, which has signages warning against unauthorised entry into a live-firing area. 

Preliminary investigations found that the SAF was conducting a live-firing activity at Nee Soon Range during the time of the incident. The forested area where the incident took place is near the Range. 

Investigations by the Police and the SAF are still ongoing. Police do not suspect foul play at this juncture.
