Student kills guard with arrow

PALU, Central Sulawesi: A senior high school student killed a school security guard with an arrow in Palu, Central Sulawesi, after defying the victim's order to allow his bag to be examined.

The guard, Heri Setianto, 25, died from chest wounds after he was rushed to the city's Budi Agung hospital on Tuesday.

The incident took place when the student visited another school to visit friends there.

He had refused the guard's order to open his bag and instead had fired the fatal shot.

In a counter attack, Heri hurled a knife at the student, identified only by his initials IK, but missed. IK then fled.

Purwanto, the school master, urged police to thoroughly investigate the killing, the first to take place at his school. -- JP
