Soldier arrested over shooting<\/p>\n
Evi Mariani, Jakarta<\/p>\n
The Central Jakarta Police arrested an Army soldier, Second Sgt.
\nAgus Rianto Sinaga, on Tuesday for allegedly shooting a 22-year-
\nold civilian, Hendarlan, at the low-cost apartments in Tanah
\nTinggi, Johar Baru, Central Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Agus was arrested at his home on Jl. Kesehatan in Central
\nJakarta. He was handed over to the Jakarta Military Police, who
\nare now investigating the case.<\/p>\n
Hendarlan suffered three bullet wounds -- one in the left
\nknee, left calf and right thigh respectively. He was rushed to
\nthe Jakarta Islamic Hospital in Cempaka Putih, Central Jakarta,
\nbut his condition was said to not be life-threatening.<\/p>\n
The dispute between the two men started on Saturday night when
\nHendarlan and his friends were gathered outside an apartment on
\nthe second floor, where Agus' girlfriend, Yeyen, lives.<\/p>\n
On her way to her apartment, she passed and greeted them. The
\nmen started to tease her in a way that was taken by Yeyen to be
\nverbal harassment. Yeyen then told Agus about the incident and he
\nlater confronted them.<\/p>\n
The verbal quarrel turned ugly when Hendarlan threw a glass at
\nAgus, wounding him on the head.<\/p>\n
To avoid the dispute worsening, other tenants brought the two
\nmen to the Johar Baru police station where Agus and Hendarlan
\nsigned a peace agreement in front of police officers.<\/p>\n
But on Tuesday at around 1:30 a.m., Agus came back to
\nHendarlan's apartment and kicked the door open before opening
\nfire on the sleeping Hendarlan.<\/p>\n
The gunshots woke other tenants. Some of them chased Agus into
\nthe parking lot where he had parked his car. He managed to get
\naway from his pursuers before finally being arrested by the
\npolice.<\/p>\n
Jakarta Military Command spokesman Lt. Col. Apang Sopandi
\nconfirmed the arrest and said that the suspect was being
\nquestioned at Jakarta Military Police headquarters.<\/p>",
