I can't figure this story out.  A person with a gun situated at a petrol station, shot at a car some 4 kilometres away?   Now that's some shooting! 

. 

10 bullet holes in the car and the guy in the car also damaged watch.

.

Sometimes please explain what actually happened.

Replace to with a comma.

“Payungsak disclosed that the gunman repeatedly shot at his car from the PTT Ban Pong petrol station to a location outside his company, a distance of about 4 kilometres.”

Obviously the amulet saved him, ye of little faith

Ahhh so the shooter followed his car for 4km while shooting at him. 

. 

From the petrol station to near his workplace.  I'm also not sure how he managed to damage his watches,  was he wearing several at the same time or is he a watch dealer and had boxes of them in his car? 

. 

Oh those magical amulets. I'm surprised James Bond hasn't got one.

I think not because no mention of a death defying car chase at dizzyingly high speeds. The shooter stayed in the petrol station and shot at him when he drove past on his way to or from work. They only mention his work because he suspects it was a dismissed co-worker seeking revenge.

Ok.  The article wasn't very clear as to what happened and where. 

Luckily this guy come away unscathed.  So this female ex employee lost her job as a result of her pilfering company funds. 

She or someone she gets to help then tries to take this guy out.  10 shots is pretty quick for hitting a car passing a petrol station. 

It'll be interesting if they report a follow up story.
