JAKARTA (JP): Three conflicting versions have been given in
\nSaturday's shooting of an unofficial parking attendant by a
\npublic security and order (Kamtibmas) officer.<\/p>\n
Herman Panjaitan, 22, remains under observation at
\nPersahabatan Hospital in East Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Herman, who usually operates in the Plumpung area of East
\nJakarta, said he was shocked when a man he knew as Sgt. Maj.
\nSuhardi shot him in the ankle.<\/p>\n
\"I was surprised. You see, I know Bapak Suhardi very well. He
\nis posted in the area where I usually take care of the parking
\nlots on Jl. H. Kaiman in Rawa Bunga subdistrict,\" Herman told The
\nJakarta Post at the hospital on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
\"He came up to me and we were talking. Suddenly, for no reason
\nat all, he said that I was trying to argue with him. I got scared
\nand said sorry. He pushed my right shoulder down and forced me to
\nsquat.<\/p>\n
\"He then pointed his pistol at my right ankle and shot me.\"<\/p>\n
A report filed by East Jakarta Police detectives said the
\nshooting happened on the crossover bridge in Plumpung.<\/p>\n
It stated that Suhardi was involved in a dispute with Herman
\nand went up to the bridge.<\/p>\n
He reportedly tried to shoot Herman but the bullet hit the
\nasphalt and ricocheted into his ankle.<\/p>\n
A Jakarta Police report released on Sunday provided another
\nversion.<\/p>\n
Suhardi fired a warning shot into the air but it struck
\noverhanging cable wires, bouncing off the pavement and hitting
\nHerman, the report said.<\/p>\n
In another shooting on Saturday afternoon, a 26-year-old man
\nwas shot in his left thigh and stomach at Cipete Market in South
\nJakarta after robbing a shopper.<\/p>\n
Ulit, alias Joli, was shot after he robbed Beni, 60, a retired
\nNational Police officer, of a 10 gram gold ring, a South Jakarta
\nPolice officer who identified himself as Andre said.<\/p>\n
\"I cannot give you Pak Beni's full name because it is a
\nconfidential matter. Ulit robbed him of the gold ring. It was
\nfortunate that second sergeants Hengki and Tobing were passing
\nby,\" Andre told the Post.<\/p>\n
\"Hengki shot several warning shots into the air, but Ulit kept
\non running. In the end, he was shot. Ulit is out of danger. He
\nwas operated on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
