JAKARTA: A drunken Navy officer shot and injured two people,
including a police officer, early on Monday morning at a cafe on
Jl. Enggano, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta.

Navy officer, chief cadet Ragil Puryono, was drunk when he fired
haphazardly in several directions.

Stray bullets hit the toe of policeman Brig. Matris and the
stomach of a street vendor close to the scene, Muntoyo Arif.

"We're still investigating the incident, but reports received
