The chief ain't bulletproof

CIREBON, West Java (JP): A village chief bragged to police
over the weekend that he was bulletproof and his claim was
immediately tested.

An officer shot him. The Tugu Lor village chief, Suhandi, is
now recovering from bullet wounds to the hand and foot.

The incident happened at his home on Saturday when police
officers were tracking down youths seeking refuge there after
they tried to attack neighboring Sudimampir village, Indramayu.

Irritated by the uninvited police officers, Suhandi yelled
that he was bulletproof.

The police pursued scores of Tugu Lor villagers from house to
house after stopping their attack on Sudimampir.

A Tugu Lor villager shot and wounded a police officer with a
homemade gun before police fired tear gas and began making
arrests, Antara reported. (pan)
