Ubud: 2 shot while waiting in line for fuel compensation money

Two people were reportedly shot while they were waiting in line for a compensation fund for fuel oil (BBM) in an Ubud Post Office on Saturday. Unfortunately police have yet to make an official statement on the incident. We’re wondering if the shooting had anything to do with Indonesia’s recent increase in fuel prices

The victims are I Nyoman Misi, 50, and I Wayan Sudana, 57, both from Bukian Village, Gianyar. Misi allegedly got shot, suffering a three centimeter puncture wound to the head, while Sudana was hit on the left thigh, a two centimeter wound, reports Viva News

A witness to the shooting, I Made Tenaya said the incident occurred approximately at 1:30pm. At that time, the victims were sitting, waiting their turn for the compensation money, said Tenaya, as reported by Viva. 

We do not know about the exact condition of the victims at this time, but the victims were referred to the hospital according to reports and police are said to be investigating the incident further.
