Jakarta –
Anjas (23), one of the three youths shot when police opened warning shots in Makassar, South Sulawesi (Sulsel), died. The National Police said that Propam was still verifying why this incident happened
“It is being reviewed by Propam,” the head of Public Relations of the National Police, Inspector General Argo Yuwono, said on Sunday (8/30/2020) when contacted.
Argo did not want to convey the problem of the shooting against Makassar residents when police fired warning shots. However, according to him, Propam was still conducting chronological searches on the motive for the warning shots.
“The chronology is being checked, why the members fired,” Argo said.
It was previously reported that Propam interrogated six police officers because three Makassar city residents were shot during the warning shots. Police are still investigating why a resident was shot during the warning shots.
“We want to explore the role of the members first, why people were shot. This is being explored first,” AKBP Makassar Port Police Chief Muhammad Kadarislam told detikcom on Sunday (8/30).
The shooting incident began when one of the plainclothes policemen, Brifka UF, who was investigating the case of the beating, reached the residents of the Ujung Tanah district, Makassar, on Sunday (8/30) this morning.
However, Bripka UF was chased and yelled at by the residents by the thieves. Bripka UF is said to have survived thanks to the help of police officers on patrol.
Not only that, the police, who previously investigated the case of beatings, returned to the scene because they wanted to take his motorcycle. But when he arrived at the scene he was again attacked by residents.
“After calming down a bit, the member (investigator) went back in and went to look for his motorcycle, the motorcycle was inside. It turned out that people inside (residential areas) were attacked again, ”he said.
The police, who were attacked again by residents and pressed for it to continue, eventually fired warning shots. Moments later, it was reported that 3 residents were shot.
“Two were shot in the leg, 1 (Anjas) in the temple, in the head. 1 time each,” concluded Kadarislam.
