BADUNG, Bali<\/strong> \u2014 The manhunt for the suspect in a shooting at a popular bar in Bali’s Canggu nightlife<\/a> district ended nearly 1,000 kilometers from the island, after police arrested him moments after he stepped off a flight at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect, identified only by the initial H<\/strong>, an Indonesian national, was taken into custody on Saturday night, July 18, less than 24 hours after police allege he opened fire inside The Shady Pig<\/strong> bar, injuring two people with a single bullet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrest marks a significant breakthrough in a case that has drawn widespread attention because it involved a firearm being discharged in one of Bali’s busiest tourist entertainment areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the Suspect Tried to Escape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to local media reports, H did not immediately leave Bali after the shooting. Instead, investigators believe he went into hiding for several hours before later boarding a flight to Jakarta from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His movements were quickly traced by investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A joint operation involving the North Kuta Police Criminal Investigation Unit<\/strong>, Badung Police Criminal Investigation Unit<\/strong>, Jakarta Metropolitan Police<\/strong>, Soekarno-Hatta Airport Police<\/strong>, and immigration authorities at both Ngurah Rai and Soekarno-Hatta airports was launched after investigators suspected the suspect had fled the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police intercepted H shortly after his arrival at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport<\/strong> on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the arrest, he was immediately flown back to Bali, where he is now undergoing intensive questioning at Badung Police Headquarters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Badung Police Chief AKBP Joseph Edward Purba<\/strong> declined to discuss operational details of the arrest when contacted on Sunday, July 19, saying investigators would release further information as the investigation progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the Shooting Unfolded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The shooting occurred during the early hours of Friday, July 17<\/strong>, inside The Shady Pig<\/strong>, a popular late-night venue on Jalan Pantai Berawa in Canggu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police, the incident began with an altercation between H and a 25-year-old Chinese national<\/strong>, identified by the initials EA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 32-year-old bar security guard<\/strong>, identified as IMYM<\/strong>, stepped in to separate the two men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police allege that instead of the confrontation de-escalating, H drew a firearm and fired a single shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck the security guard in the left thigh before passing through his leg and lodging in the left thigh of the Chinese national standing directly behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both victims survived the shooting and remain hospitalized while receiving medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigation Continues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Investigators have already collected witness statements, analyzed CCTV footage from the bar, and secured several pieces of physical evidence from the scene, including a copper-colored bullet projectile believed to have been fired during the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police are also awaiting medical examination reports (visum et repertum) as part of the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities have not disclosed a possible motive or whether additional charges may be filed as investigators continue questioning the suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
