The Chronology of a Resident Death Because of the Police Warning Shot

One of the youths named Anjas (23) meninggal.

The shooting incident began when a police officer was investigating the beating case.

The beatings took place at the house of a resident in the Ujung Tanah District, Makassar, pada hari Minggu (Agustus 30) pagi ini.

“As soon as he arrived at the TKP, he met the children who were gathering. Kebetulan, the children were drinking (drunk),” said Makassar Port Police Chief AKBP Muhammad Kadarislam to detikcom, Minggu (Agustus 30, 2020).

The police then asked the name of one of the perpetrators of the beating case that was being sought from the 3 residents who were gathering and drunk.

Not immediately answering the police’s question, the young man asked the police back.

The police then answered that he was an investigator who was investigating the beating case while showing his police membership card.

“Suddenly someone hit him from behind, beaten by a police officer. Suddenly he saw a lot of people,” dia berkata.

When they saw a large crowd of people approaching, the police immediately fled.

But the 3 young men who were drunk immediately shouted the word ‘thief’.

“These people all came out, the members ran away, eventually they were pushed by the members, pelted with all kinds of things, their names were disguised as plain clothes,” dia berkata.

The police personnel who were pressed were then rescued by police personnel on patrol and passed by the scene.

Seeing the crowd, the patrol police fired tear gas.

Tidak hanya itu, the police who had previously investigated the beatings returned to the scene because they wanted to take their motorbike.

But when he arrived at the location he was again attacked by residents.

The police were attacked again by residents and pressed.

Finally the policeman fired warning shots. Beberapa saat kemudian, it was reported that 3 residents were shot.

Itu 3 residents who were shot were Anjas (23), Ammar (18), and Iqbal.
