Terrorism - Please note 25 May 2019

Gunmen opened first at the Police headquarters in Purwokerto injuring one officer yesterday.
This is probably just an isolated one off, but it doesn't hurt to know there are terrorists out there with guns and bombs. Happily the bullet only caused minor injuries and the policeman was fine.

Just a heads up, not a reason to get scared.

A police officer has been injured after a group of unknown assailants fired at the National Police's Mobile Brigade headquarters (Mako Brimob) in Purwokerto, Banyumas regency, Central Java, early on Saturday.

A bullet shot from a car passing in front of the headquarters clipped the policeman's head, Chief. Brig. Imam Santoso. 

Banyumas Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Bambang Yudhantara Salamun and Central Java Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Agus Triatmaja confirmed the shooting had taken place and that an investigation was underway.

"It is still under investigation," Agus told the press on Saturday.

Imam was taken to Wijayakusuma Hospital in Purwokerto at 2.30 a.m. on Saturday, the hospital confirmed.

Imam received stitches for his wound and returned home Saturday afternoon.

Looks like the idiots are out to play.
I'm happy to see this was a clueless moron and he didn't manage to hurt anyone but himself, it does suggest an eye on your surroundings in in order.
